“How much will you risk?”
A former college athlete gets drawn into the risky world of sports betting when he teams up with a sharp consultant who knows how to read the odds. Their partnership turns football handicapping into a high-pressure game where money, ego and judgment all collide. As the stakes rise, the promise of easy profit begins to look far less certain.
