The story

During the 1930s, New York gangster Blackie approaches Sorrowful Jones, a gloomy, cantankerous bookmaker, about financing a new gambling house. Sorrowful is not interested. Carter, a small time gambler, leaves his six-year-old daughter to Sorrowful as a "marker", pledging her as collateral for his losses while he attempts to earn the money to pay off his debt.
