Besides the fact that their kids all attend the same fashionable Brooklyn Heights private school, Bess, Robin, Carla, and Alicia have little in common. Thrown together on the tony school’s Diversity Committee, the women impulsively turn their awkward first meeting into a boisterous game of poker. Instead of betting with chips or pocket change, however, they play for intimate secrets about their lives. As the Diversity Commitee meetings become a highly anticipated monthly ritual, the new friends reveal more with each game. Picture-perfect housewife Bess struggles to relate to her surly teenage daughter and judgmental mother. Robin, a single mom, grapples with the truth concerning her child’s real father. Carla, an ambitious doctor, attempts to balance the colossal demands of her family with her dream of owning her own private practice. And to distract herself from her troubled marriage, shy copywriter Alicia fantasizes about an attractive younger colleague. Putting all their cards on the table, the four women grow to rely on one another, bracing for one final showdown. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Africa is a sheet of glass, Canada was sunk, Central America, split off of the continent and is now a massive desert, and South America is drowning in Nuclear Radiation. The nations that have survived are all run by dictators, with laws based off of common house hold games. Well, all except Australia, but that's another story. What used to be The United States of America, is now a nation called The Deck, based off of a 52 card playing deck and ruled by four young rulers called The Aces.
