Part of the Game is writer/director Rick Alyea's intimate portrayal of the human lives involved within "the game" of the drug trade. When drug kingpin Robert Young (Richard de Klerk) discovers his younger sister Janice (Jovanna Huguet) is addicted to heroin, it forces him to make a stark evaluation of his life and motivations. Unable to maintain his lucrative business and help Janice simultaneously, Robert faces the dilemma of choosing between fortune and family. As Robert puts the profession aside to help his sister through her trial, his former partner, Marcus (Colin Lawrence), violently maneuvers to assume control of the drug empire. While helping Janice through recovery, Robert finds himself vulnerable to Marcus' machinations and the consequences of his former lifestyle. Assaulted on all sides by family strife, violent rivalries, and his own ethical struggles, Robert finds his attempts to make the right choices may cost him everything. As events escalate, Robert learns the cost for atonement is simply part of the game.moreless
