Company executive Caroline has until the final whistle of the World Cup to raise a million dollars, or risk a lifetime of servitude in a Macau brothel.

Her marriage in trouble, the glamorous Caroline has gambled her way to the heart of suave Mr Nim’s betting syndicate in Singapore. He introduces her to illegal gambling dens, where fortunes are won and lost.

When beginner’s luck runs out, she loses much more than just her money. She is left with nothing but sex to trade against Nim’s high-interest loans. He plans to enlarge his fortune in Brazil by fixing the tournament final, but the football authorities are closing in. Nim offers her unlimited wealth if she willingly joins his enterprise.

Has she betrayed her husband and her colleagues, or can she expose the conspiracy at the heart of football? While Nim’s men scour Rio to find Caroline, her estranged husband flies to Brazil in a desperate effort to reclaim the woman he loves.

Only one of them can win the woman they both desire.
