When an elder crime boss sits down with a younger crime boss, at a poker game, he must carefully find a way to avoid a gang war and keep everyone at the game calm.

Like Eethan, I can see the poker game as the setup for a plot. ?Either the protagonist maintains the peace or he doesn't. ?If he maintains the peace,?what's there left to fight about, what's the conflict driving the story? ?If he doesn't, what happens next? ?What becomes the dramatic action that drives the rest of the plot? ?What becomes his objective goal?

Also, what particular ethnic group(s) constitute the competing gangs??

Hey Nwales06,

Consider making the poker game the inciting incident - and I feel like it's meant ?to be exactly that; perhaps tempers explode at this game anyway, and from there you have a plot:?When? all ?hell breaks loose at a friendly poker game, your MC does?what to restore the peace between he and his rival gang?
