1974 yapımı bir klasik olan filmin yeniden çevrimidir. New York’lu bir
profesör gittikçe artan bir borç batağı içinde savrulmaktadır. Kumar

annesinden 40.000 dolar ödünç almak üzeredir. Aynı zamanda
öğrencilerinden birini bir basketbol maçında skor elde etmek konusunda
ikna eder. Profesör okulda gerçekten sevilen ve herkese ilham kaynağı
olan biridir. Ancak en büyük kusuru ciddi bir kumar bağımlısı olmasıdır.

He plays both sides, immersing himself in an illicit, underground world while garnering the attention of Frank, a loan shark with a paternal interest in Bennett's future. As his relationship with a student deepens, Bennett must take the ultimate risk for a second chance...
