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.
