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.

AFINANDO EL DESTINO

Es cuestión de jugar con las cartas que te tocan.

Mark Turner, de dieciocho años, cree que le ha tocado la peor mano posible: su padre ha muerto y él ha quedado a cargo de sus hermanos menores, Josh y Sadie. Pero quizá todavía tenga un as bajo la manga…

La música y una ambición desbordante llevan a Mark, Josh y Sadie desde tocar en las calles de Edimburgo hasta las brillantes luces de los escenarios de Las Vegas y más allá, arrastrándolos a un mundo de excesos y tentaciones, amistad y soledad.

Pero, a medida que su estrella asciende, empiezan a aparecer grietas en lo único que los mantiene unidos: la familia. Solo enfrentándose a su pasado podrán encontrar la paz. Si no lo hacen, todo podría venirse abajo… junto con el sueño musical de Mark.

"At times funny, at others completely heart wrenching, The Cards We’re Dealt is a beautiful story about the importance of family, of coming to terms with your past, and about passion for music."
