Sharks is a story of a rogue MIT blackjack team who took huge sums of cash from the casinos.

Applying the "hi-lo" card-counting techniques popularised in the early 1960s, the team made more than $3 million in a few years, all through legal methods, before the casinos caught on.

The MIT bunch lived out a fantasy, concocting aliases, wearing elaborate disguises at blackjack tables and partying with celebrities.

We follow an investigation of this band of geniuses into the casino world and get some clues as to how they succeeded and eventually failed.
