In the film Justin Timberlake stars as a Princeton University student who gets pulled into the world of online gambling in order to help bankroll his expensive education. After he loses money he flies to Costa Rica hoping to reclaim his losses from the site's billionaire owner (Ben Affleck) and ends up becoming the corrupt CEO's right-hand man.
