Synopsis: Ben Campbell a young, highly intelligent, student at
M.I.T. in Boston wants a scholarship to transfer to Harvard School of
Medicine with the desire to become a doctor. Ben cannot afford the
$300,000 for the four to five years of study since he comes from a poor,
working-class background. However, he is introduced by his unorthodox
maths Professor Micky Rosa into a small but secretive club of five
students, Jill, Choi, Kianna, and Jimmy who are being trained by
Professor Rosa in the skill of card counting at blackjack. Ben joins his
new friends on secret weekend trips to Las Vegas where, using their
skills of code talk and hand signals, they have Ben make hundreds of
thousands of dollars winning at blackjack. Ben only wants to make enough
money for the tuition at Harvard and then back out but he becomes
corrupted by greed and his arrogance at winning which puts Professor
Rosa, as well as the group, in danger from brutal casino security
enforcer, Cole Williams. This threatens to undo everything the students
have learned and earned.
