Summary of Luck
A TV series centered around characters who are tied to the same horse-racing track. Luck begins with Chester ‘Ace’ Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman) being released from prison and into the car of his driver, Gus (Dennis Farina). On the drive, Ace and Gus quickly go over the vague details of Ace’s plan to extract vengeance on those for whom he served a three-year prison sentence. The plan somehow involves a horse Gus is serving as owner for, but other than connecting Ace to the rest of the characters dispersed throughout the horse track – and by extension the series – it’s unclear just where Ace is going with this.
