The story

What Is Playing for the Mob About?

The premise of Playing for the Mob without spoilers.

During the 1978-79 season, Boston College basketball games were manipulated with the involvement of mobster Henry Hill, previously portrayed by Ray Liotta in Goodfellas. This film explores the point-shaving scandal for the first time, presenting accounts from the players, federal investigators, and the fixers themselves. Set against the backdrop of college basketball, the story delves into themes of greed, betrayal, and the consequences of pursuing wealth. It highlights a universal truth: when significant money is involved, trust becomes a scarce commodity.
