That universal desire, along with many others, is played out in the lives of three teens who hope to beat the house, and control their futures. Come meet: • Sanjay, who wants to be much more than the dutiful, hardworking immigrant’s son • Kat, who wants enough cash to run as far as she can, from her past and who she’s afraid she might become • Jerrica, who thinks she can foresee the cards, and maybe make them be what she needs them to be.
