While he becomes educated on the g******g, Corey gets an up-close, personal reality check regarding fast money and all that comes with it. As play time ends, friends turn into enemies, and trust transforms into an illusion, Corey becomes immersed in a grown man’s game. Now time will tell who will win when the last man is standing.
