Synopsis
BOOKIE tells the story of a man who learns he can't live his life on the sidelines forever. In 1963, on the night of a wildly anticipated boxing fight, crowds pack into a seedy nightclub for alcohol, wild music, and a chance at easy money. Word is out that the champ's got this one in the bag and Bookie takes down bets from all corners. Amidst it all, Bookie can't help but notice the beautiful waitress Billie fall roughly on the outs with Jackson, her lover and Bookie's all-controlling boss. Bookie attempts to help matters, but the odds prove far more difficult -- they will have to trust each other completely to break free of Jackson and the nightclub.
