There are 10 million games in the naked city - board games, mind games, gender games, drinking games, video games, gaming the system, mating games, games of life and death.
  
A nuclear scientist practices for her baton competition. Video game addiction fractures a lesbian couple. An alienated office worker plays games of life and death. Everyone plays games, whether they know it or not.
We humans have come up with many ways to pass the hours until we die: board games, mind games, gender games, drinking games, gaming the system, mating games.
Two actors try to find a way to connect with their characters. An alienated dwarf with a gambling addiction talks to his bookie, an equally alienated creature who is late for yoga. A group of friends gather to play a board game and gossip about their friends. What draws them together?
Each game provides a glimpse into our diversions - light and dark.
A man tries to navigate the labyrinth of online dating with advice from his friends. A transvestite engages in her morning make-up ritual. Two old friends meet for their weekly game of checkers. A group of friends play a poker game that goes beyond cash.
From cramped city apartments to pizza parlors, this is a story of people jostling for power, making alliances, breaking away, double crossing, checking out, and just having fun while they play their games of life and death.
