Ben Campbell je hanblivý a geniálny študent M.I.T., ktorý nachádza odpoveď na svoje problémy s financovaním štúdia v hazardných hrách. Je mu ponúknuté členstvo v skupine najnadanejších študentov, ktorí každý víkend odchádzajú pod falošnou identitou do Vegas, kde využívajú svoje schopnosti na to, aby v kartách prišli ku slušným peniazom. Ich potenciál objavil svojrázny profesor matematiky a génius v odbore štatistiky, Micky Rosa, a spoločnými silami vymysleli spôsob, ako herný systém oklamať. Zásluhou toho, že sa naučili počítať karty a osvojili si komplikovaný systém tajných signálov, sú schopní vyhrávať v kasínach rozprávkové čiastky. Ben, ktorý podľahne vidine peňazí, životnému štýlu v Las Vegas, múdrej a peknej členke ich týmu, Jill Taylor, stále viacej riskuje. Aj keď počítanie kariet nie je nezákonné, v stávke je veľa a nejde iba o to orientovať sa v kartách, ale tiež o nutnosť nenechať sa pristihnúť hrozivým šéfom ochranky jedného z kasín: Colom Williamsom.
