They proved the Vegas Blackjack System was beatable...by beating the hell out of it.
Ben Campbell is a young, highly intelligent student at M.I.T. who strives to succeed. Wanting a scholarship to transfer to Harvard School of Medicine to become a doctor, Ben learns that he cannot afford the $300,000 tuition as he comes from a poor, working-class background. But one evening, Ben is introduced by his unorthodox math professor to a small but secretive club of five students, Jill, Choi, Kianna, and Fisher, who are being trained by Professor Rosa to count cards at blackjack.

Aufgrund seiner guten Ergebnisse als Mathematikstudent am renommierten MIT, erhält Ben Campbell ein verlockendes Angebot. Sein Mathematikprofessor Mickey Rosa will Ben in sein sechsköpfiges Black Jack Team aufnehmen, das er im Kartenzählen professionell ausbildet. Denn Rosa hat eine Formel entwickelt, mit der es möglich ist, alle Las Vegas Casinos um Millionen Dollar zu erleichtern. Nach einigen erfolgreichen Runden Black Jack schöpft jedoch auch die Security der Casinos Verdacht und nimmt die Spur von Rosa und seinem Expertenteam auf.

Ben Campbell, étudiant doué au prestigieux M.I.T., est contraint de partager son temps entre ses études et petits boulots afin de pouvoir payer ses frais de scolarité. Lorsqu'un groupe d'élèves aussi doués que lui le repère, ils lui proposent de participer à un jeu bien plus lucratif. Tous les week-ends, cette petite bande de mathématiciens hors pair se rend à Las Vegas pour jouer au blackjack sous de fausses identités, avec des règles qui ne doivent plus rien au hasard. Guidés par le professeur et génie des statistiques Micky Rosa, ils ont compris comment prévoir les cartes et communiquer entre eux pour rafler de très grosses mises. Séduit par l'argent facile, la vie de rêve et Jill, sa très belle équipière, Ben multiplie les défis. Les risques augmentent pourtant rapidement avec les mises, et les cartes ne restent pas longtemps son seul adversaire : il doit désormais se méfier de Cole Williams, le plus terrifiant des hommes de main des casinos.

Ben Campbell è un timido e brillante studente di matematica che, avendo bisogno di pagarsi gli studi, trova nel gioco d'azzardo la soluzione ai suoi problemi finanziari. Grazie alle sue doti Ben viene reclutato in un team formato dagli studenti più dotati del college, team che svolge un'attività tanto particolare quanto redditizia: ogni weekend il gruppo muove alla volta di Las Vegas dove, utilizzando un sistema di calcolo ideato dal loro professore di matematica Micky Rosa, riesce a sbancare i casinò applicando la scienza al Black Jack. Sedotto dalla vita scintillante di Las Vegas, e dalla sua furba e sexy compagna di squadra Jill, Ben cederà alla pericolosa tentazione di forzare la mano al gioco...
