I invite you to delve into the fascinating world of "Solitaire Series" episode 20, "The Five of Diamonds". Here you will plunge deep into the world of Cynthia, or should I say Janice, a woman entangled in a sticky, webbed life of assumed identities, hidden motives, and raw survival instincts.


If you've been following along, you'll know that outwardly, Cynthia (Janice) is a high-stakes gambler of great skill, card counter extraordinaire with an FBI salary supporting her daring bets.

In this episode, Cynthia (Janice) is thrust into the segments of a mysterious criminal circle operating under a dark cloud of ambiguity. One moment she's winning at a table playing the high stakes game in a back room; the next, she's collapsing under what appears to be a sinister drug's effects.
