Now the Monk must look for a new scrollkeeper. Plot: For 60 years a mysterious monk with no name has zigzagged the globe to protect an ancient scroll - a scroll that holds the key to unlimited power. Working with a small crew, he switches out the contents of a six deck shoe and they take the casino for $40,000. In a short flashback, that third member, Vernon ( Stuart Townsend), a card mechanic, is working as a Las Vegas blackjack dealer. Larry tentatively agrees to continue talking pending his meeting the third member of the group. As Charlie and Larry talk, Tiffany is harassed at the bar by a guy trying to pick her up. They discuss a partnership to work a "soft game" with a potential profit of $10,000-$20,000. Later at a Los Angeles club, Charlie and Tiffany meet up with Larry Jennings ( Jamie Foxx) as he's taking down an underground poker game. The pettiness of the scam (grossing $300) indicates the usual level at which they operate. In present day, Tiffany ( Thandie Newton) and Charlie ( Gabriel Byrne), two of the three small-time hustlers, run a scam involving a phony diamond ring. The two men point their guns at each other's heads. Incensed, a fellow player grabs a gun and starts shooting, setting off a firefight that kills everyone in the club except the Dean and one of the mobsters. The Dean reluctantly does so, revealing the card he's concealed. The game is raided by robbers who order everyone to put up their hands. Many years ago, a young Dean is playing in a mob-run illegal underground poker game.
The film follows a trio of grifters who attempt to set up a legendary card sharp nicknamed "The Dean". Shade is a 2003 neo-noir crime drama starring Stuart Townsend, Gabriel Byrne, Thandie Newton, Jamie Foxx, Roger Guenveur Smith, Melanie Griffith and Sylvester Stallone.
