Directed by Edward Berger (All Quiet On The Western Front, Conclave), Ballad of a Small Player stars Colin Farrell as Lord Doyle, a man laying low in Macao — spending his days and nights on the casino floors, drinking heavily and gambling what little money he has left. Struggling to keep up with his fast-rising debts, he is offered a lifeline by the mysterious Dao Ming (Fala Chen), a casino employee with secrets of her own.

However, in hot pursuit is Cynthia Blithe (Tilda Swinton) — a private investigator ready to confront Doyle with what he is running from. As Doyle tries to climb to salvation, the confines of reality start to close in.

Ballad of a Small Player will be in select theaters in October, and on Netflix globally Oct. 29.
