Easy Money

19831hr 35min

When a hard-living gambling addict learns that his mother-in-law has left a colossal fortune with strict conditions, his chaotic life suddenly comes with a deadline. The premise sets up high stakes and even higher temptations: every old habit and every alluring wager threatens to derail his chance at a clean slate. Faced with the possibility of wealth he never expected, he must weigh the easy rush of the game against the long, steady work of changing.

What follows is a roller-coaster of missteps and near-misses, as schemes and colorful characters pull him back toward the life he’s trying to escape. Comedic mishaps collide with moments of genuine vulnerability, showing how difficult—and how necessary—it is to confront addiction, pride, and the patterns that keep a person trapped. The ticking clock of the inheritance clause turns personal growth into an urgent, often amusing race.

Ultimately, the story balances sharp humor with a surprising amount of heart, tracing a flawed man’s attempt to become worthy of a second chance. It’s a portrait of redemption wrapped in 1980s flair: loud, fast, and occasionally outrageous, yet grounded by the emotional truth that changing for the better takes more than luck. The outcome becomes less about the money and more about whether he can finally bet on himself.
