Addiction can break up families, and often does. Strike Dice! is the story of a daughter whose father left the family when she was young to pursue his gambling addiction. As a grown woman, Natalie goes to Las Vegas in search of her father, whom she finds homeless, gaunt, and unwashed, but still driven by the desire to gamble. Despite her best efforts, he is initially unwilling to acknowledge his addiction and accept the help he needs.
The film chronicles a daughter's struggle to get her father off the streets and back into society, and to accept him for his flaws. It follows Natalie’s journey as she helps her father find shelter and treatment to conquer his addiction, and illustrates the progress they make toward repairing their relationship as father and daughter.

"A one of a kind, high stakes match of wits and wills between father and daughter. . . . Natalie Picoe's film invites us into a full house of emotion: love, regret, anger, compassion, understanding, and acceptance; a story of how one family copes with the consequences of gambling when there are no more chips on the table."
