A PROVOCATIVE LOOK at the worlds of horse racing and gambling told through a diverse group of characters surrounding a California racetrack, LUCK is an intriguing drama from Emmy® Award winner David Milch (Deadwood, NYPD Blue) and Academy Award® nominee and Emmy® Award winner Michael Mann (Public Enemies, Miami Vice). Intuitive tough guy Chester "Ace" Bernstein (Academy Award® winner Dustin Hoffman), has always been involved with gambling, from bookmaking and money laundering to casino operations - and was recently released after a three-year prison term. He teams up with Gus Demitriou (Dennis Farino), his longtime chauffeur and muscle, to craft a complex plan involving the Santa Anita Racetrack in California. As they plot out Ace's strategy, the pair recruits Turo Escalante (John Ortiz), a successful trainer with a sordid reputation. In the meantime, an old trainer, Walter Smith (Academy Award® nominee Nick Nolte) nurtures a possible breakthrough thoroughbred, while a ragtag group of four racetrack groupies band together to try to catch lightning in a bottle - as winners of an elusive Pick Six bet.
