But as tensions in the group begin to mount and things start to go wrong, the million dollars feels more out of reach than ever. Even though it is right with them . . .

This Is for Real

As Ticky's plan gets put into action, luck is on his side, but as people start dying and disappearing, detective Tom Lepski picks up the trail. Suddenly, Ticky's plan is in danger, and if there is one thing he didn't count on, it was the personalities of the very people who are most vital to his plan.
