LIFF ANNOUNCES 2014 OPENING NIGHT FILM

“DEUCE OF SPADES”

When a hotrod girl finds a mysterious letter dating back to the fifties hidden in her roadster, she is left with nothing but questions…

Who is Johnny Callaway?

She sets out to find the answers and retrace her deuce’s troubled past. But will uncovering the truth make a difference and can a broken man ever get a second chance at a happiness long forgotten? Fast hotrods, cool cats, gravity defying swing dancing and rockin’ retro music all serve as a colorful backdrop to this heartfelt, inspiring story. Discover an underground scene where counter culture is in, old school is cool and nostalgia forever reigns.
