Molly's Game

Molly Bloom spent most of her life trying to make the Olympic ski team, but failed. Now she has two options: go study law or work for a year. Molly chose the second option, got a job in some cafe, but it did not satisfy her. Therefore, the girl created her own underground poker club. Later, her clients became the richest people on Earth, world celebrities and big crime bosses, and the stakes amounted to thousands and millions of dollars. It was an incredible profit for Molly. But the authorities rarely approve of underground gambling establishments, and the girl's club was no exception. She understands that if she does not take something, she will go behind bars. She can be saved by lawyer Charlie Jeffery. But whether it will work is a big question, because Molly's club has received a lot of people and money.
