SYNOPSIS

Andy McElroy was a pro bookie until his five-billion-dollar sports gambling ring was busted by the Feds in 2013. Since then, he has made a living from high stakes personal wagers. After losing a $1 million bet that his best friend, ‘G-Man’ couldn’t quit alcohol and drugs, Andy offers to run the Honolulu Marathon, even though he is 80 pounds overweight and hasn’t walked a mile since 2005. If he fails, he owes double. If he succeeds, he owes nothing. The plot thickens when it is revealed that Andy has a history of cheating. At stake are $2 million and a 30-year friendship.

From acclaimed true crime author John Leake and sports filmmaker Jace Panebianco, Double or Nothing began as a story about friendship, high stakes gambling, kicking addiction, and beating the odds that stack ever more against us as we grow older. Midway into the production, it morphed into a mystery about possible cheating to avoid paying a $1 million double or nothing bet.
