Following a series of cat-and-mouse encounters with the casino's intimidating head of security Cliff LeGrand (played by Benjamin Bratt), and solving several murders along the way, Charlie finds herself back on the move after another dramatic twist.

Here's a rundown of what to expect from the second instalment of Poker Face, reports .

What will happen in Poker Face season 2?

The new season kicks off with Charlie on the run once again, this time after receiving a menacing call from crime boss Beatrix Halp (Rhea Perlman), who's embroiled in a turf war with four other powerful crime families.

Having turned down Beatrix's offer to work for her, Charlie hits the road in her trusty Plymouth Barracuda, solving more murders as she travels.

According to the season two synopsis: "With her extraordinary ability to detect when someone is lying, Charlie Cale continues her journey on the road across the country, investigating crimes along the way."
