This gripping series tells the rip-roaring tale of six MIT students who took Las Vegas by storm in the early to mid 1990s.

Based on ‘Bringing Down the House’, a book by Ben Mezrich, the series looks at the group’s progress through the casinos of America and the world. We watch with amazement as these former high school geeks pose as ‘whales’ – the high rollers who are happy to bet up to 100,000 dollars a hand.

Using mathematical wizardry, our underground team of highly skilled blackjack players manage to win ever increasing sums of money through their expert ‘card counting’. We watch with envy and amusement as the group are wined, dined, and generally treated like royalty in opulent gambling emporiums across the globe.
