Das schnelle Geld (2005)
Nach einer schweren Knie-Verletzung ist Brandon Langs glänzende Karriere als Football-Profi vorbei. Doch sein einzigartiges Insiderwissen bringt ihn wieder ganz nach oben – in der äußerst lukrativen Welt der Sportwetten. Bald entdeckt ihn Walter Abrams, der Brandon zu seinem Nachfolger an der Spitze eines exklusiven Wettunternehmens erzieht. Dort gilt nur eine Regel: Je größer das Risiko, desto größer der mögliche Gewinn. Während Brandon mit dem Geld seiner Kunden riesige Vermögen erwettet, verfällt Abrams einem zerstörerischen Lebensstil, vor dem ihn nicht einmal die Liebe seiner Frau Toni Morrow bewahren kann. Aber auch Brandon gerät in höchste Gefahr: Seine unersättliche Gewinnsucht führt ihn direkt in kriminelle Zockerkreise, aus denen es für ihn scheinbar kein Entkommen mehr gibt.
