Travis has the million-dollar smile. Freddy has the million-dollar brain.Together the two buddies-one the coolest kid and the other the biggest brain at Walla Walla Junior High-set out to save Travis's dad from disaster by winning big in Las Vegas, armed only with Travis's charm and Freddy's latest invention: a pair of glasses wirelessly connected to a laptop programmed with his homemade guaranteed-to-win-at-blackjack software. Safely ensconced in the Elvis Suite in their hotel, room service flowing freely, everything looks good until they meet Johnny Large, the meanest- and shortest-gangster in Vegas. Once Johnny Large is on the scene, it's going to take a lot of luck (and some help from Sam, their sassy new lady cabdriver friend) to get out of Vegas alive! Buckle up for a funny, scary thrill ride, as our heroes try to come of age with their heads still attached to their bodies.
