In the film, a hotrod girl finds a mysterious letter dating back to the fifties hidden in her roadster, and is left with nothing but questions. She sets out to find the answers, and retraces her deuce’s troubled past. But will learning the truth make a difference, and can a broken man ever get a second chance at a happiness long forgotten?

The film carries two strong story lines with over ninety minutes of exhilarating flashbacks to the fifties. If you are old enough you will relive your life back in the good ol’ days, and if not, you will wish that you had. Gene Winfield, once hard core racer, plays the fictional character El Mirage George, but the real star of the film remains the 1932 deuce Ford roadster. Flashback scenes resurrect the old jalopies, swing dancing, a time of innocence, and flagmen.

“Deuce of Spades” is true “back in the day” hot rod culture. Some of the key scenes in the film were shot on location in the heart of the California desert, at El Mirage dry lake, the holy ground of speed. Faith, her small crew of volunteers, and her cast had to brave extreme temperatures, ranging from excessive heat to freezing cold while working together to capture the moment, racing against the clock to beat the sun rise on those challenging night shoots. They even had to share their set with scorpions! Despite the many challenges, they kept rolling. It had to be correct, it had to be real, it had to be from the heart. Down to the smallest details it all would be historically correct. The filmmaker of “Deuce of Spades.” would not have it any other way.
