Synopsis:

An innocent man becomes the killer everyone wants him to be, when he is forced to take a huge gamble with his freedom. When down-on-his-luck Sam Bailey takes a wrong turn on a remote country road, he becomes entangled in a murder and a triangle of deceit. He is tricked by a miserable farmer's wife, hungry for her husband's life insurance. And when Sam's own wife discovers their deadly secret, she ups the ante with her own sinister double-crossing plot. Dead Man's Luck is the story of a desperate man's gamble to save his own skin as he is played by two highly manipulative and determined women.

When down-on-his-luck Sam Bailey takes a wrong turn on a remote country road, he ends up with more than a little dirt to wash off his shoes after a miserable farmwife's hope for a better life becomes his worst nightmare. After Sam's greedy Russian wife discovers his deadly secret, she ups the ante with her own crazy plot - playing with Sam's life to cover her bet. The story of a man's absurd gamble to save his innocence; three desperate people who bet everything they have in a brainless high-stakes game of loser-loses-all.
