What Wolves is
Basketball recruit Anthony Keller is two months from Cornell when his father’s gambling addiction turns the scholarship into a ticking bomb. The jock facade cracks as Lee’s debts start with a bookie and end with a loaded gun. A father-son road trip to Vegas either fixes everything or blows it all up.
