Synopsis

A look at one of the largest and most heavily funded blackjack teams in the country that is made up of a Seattle-based Churchteam that includes pastors, worship leaders, and other Christians. By using the methodology of card counting, they have learned how to increase their odds and fleece casinos for millions of dollars, much of which goes directly into church coffers. As the bankroll and membership of Churchteam grows, issues about the morality of gambling start to crop up as well as the complications of bypassing the increasingly sophisticated security measures enacted by the casinos to stop career card counters. After a non-Christian team member joins the team, their once unstoppable success starts to fall apart and the team's founders try to get back on the winning streak via a desperate road trip.
