      Jack Queen King isn't just a neat poker hand; it's also the stage name of a rock singer/guitarist in this quasi-supernatural fantasy, which is told by Jack's drummer Clay.

It soon turns out that Jack has a fine line in callous indifference and seems to decide how he will treat people, by picking a card, which he keeps in his shirt pocket; but is the card's control more than just a figment, or is there something more sinister going on?
