Polite, mild mannered Dan Mahowny (Philip Seymour Hoffman: Red Dragon, Punch-Drunk Love, Magnolia) is an assistant bank manager with a head for numbers, a knack for making decisions and a devastating appetite for gambling. By day, Mahowny works obsessively in a bank; by night, he gambles obsessively on sports, ponies and at the gaming tables. He lives for the thrill of the bet and it drives him to incredible lengths of ingenuity and stamina. He is the unlikely hero who takes on the financial institutions everyone loves to hate, the bank and the casino, and, for a brief time, he wins. At the center of this extraordinary story of $10.2 Million of siphoned bank funds, staggering levels of embezzlement, and millions upon millions of dollars funneled through the gambling networks, is one very ordinary man who was orchestrated the largest bank fraud in the history of Canada.
