Amelita is an aging bet collector. Despite the regular crackdown on the illegal numbers game, she clings to the job she has known for more than 20 years. Her husband Eli, equally aging, is of little help in their small variety store. Amy’s grown up children have all left home. While collecting bets three days before All Saints day, Amy, along with other bet collectors, is taken to the police and has to stay their until their handler bails them out. The following morning, Amy returns to the streets and continues her clandestine activity. She is not aware of that her ordinary, meaningless life has already been challenged by the perplexing game of life, luck and death.
