THE CARDS WE'RE DEALT

​

“You have to play the cards you’re dealt.”

​

Eighteen-year-old Mark Turner thinks he’s been given the toughest hand possible: his father is dead and he’s been left to look after his younger brother and sister, Josh and Sadie. But he might have one ace up his sleeve…

​

Music and raw ambition sweep Mark, Josh and Sadie from busking on the streets of Edinburgh to the bright lights of stages in Las Vegas and beyond, swallowing them up in a world of excess and temptation, friendship and loneliness.

​

But as their star rises, cracks begin to appear in the family. Only by facing their past will they find peace. If they don’t, it could take them all down—and Mark’s musical dream with it.
