Chicago with its vibrant night life, lake front, tall buildings and dark alleys is home to a couple of young gamblers determined to turn their vice into a business. A place where corruption, illegal activities and underground gambling flourish. Two close friends Michael & Banks find it easy to make money until they start taking bets from Sergei, a smooth talking but ruthless Russian gambler that has devised a plan to rig the betting system of these naive bookmakers to insure that the odds are in his favor. When things start spinning out of control and their little empire begins to crumble they turn to their mentor Carmine, an old family friend with ties to the mob and ask for help in hope that his money & power can keep them from total disaster. Partially based on true events and filmed on location.
