A group of college kids gets together and tries to come up with a sure-fire money making scheme. Opening up a small time bookies, they seem destined to make a few dollars at no harm to anyone. Unfortunately they didn't count on drawing the attentions of some shady characters from the world of organized crime, which subsequently leads them into an alien, and scary, world in which they are clearly out of their depth. Stars Nick Stahl (TERMINATOR 3), Lucas Haas (MARS ATTACKS), and Rachel Leigh Cook (JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS). [More]
