Plot[edit]
Michael is a talented gambler who thinks through his every move and counts only on himself. He plans a heist at a luxury European casino. Michael rolls out his scheme brilliantly, until he runs up against a mysterious rival (Alex) at a poker table. During the game Michael's cards mysteriously change in his hands. He loses everything, and his scheme gets blown up. Victor – a cruel and dangerous casino owner – is sure that Michael and Alex work together. Victor says that Michael must repay a huge debt – everything that Alex won – and gives him a week to comply.
Michael seems to be facing a deadlock but gathers a team of experts with superpowers to quickly win at a casino and repay the debt. The superpowers of his team members help Michael skip a long preparation process.
Eric is a rich kid, a party boy who has a slight power of telekinesis. He uses his power to move small objects (e.g., a roulette ball or cubes). Tony is a taxi driver who controls electronics, devices and tools. For example, he can turn a camera away at the right time. Kevin is a hypnotist, an autist who can put any thought into anyone's head for a short interval.
Veronika is a telepath who can hear and transmit thoughts at a distance. Her power helps Michael communicate with his team so that no security service can overhear them.
Michael and his ‘supernatural’ team go to a casino to win big. He finds himself up against his mysterious rival and ends up putting himself and his team in danger.
