Ben Campbell is an MIT senior who applies for a full scholarship to Harvard Medical School. The Harvard official, administering the scholarship, tells Ben that his application essay must “dazzle” him in order to win it. In his non-linear equations class, Ben impresses his professor, Mickey Rosa. Thus, Mickey invites him to an after-hours card counting session. The team travels to Las Vegas every weekend and count cards to win money. The members then split the amount between each other. After some persuasion, Ben joins the team to generate $300,000, the amount he needs for medical school. When he accomplishes this, he will quit. However, life gets complicated for Ben; For every weekend he spends in Las Vegas, he ignores and lies to his friends and family.
