Grade level: 7-12. Mike, a high-school student, borrows money from other teens to pay his gambling debts. Struggling with another student to whom he owes money, Mike bumps his head and loses consciousness. While unconscious, Mike is "visited" by his uncle, who committed suicide because of his heavy gambling debts. Uncle Nick explains how gambling affected his life: missed payments, losses, lying, cheating, and a failed marriage. As Mike wakes up, he confronts the seriousness of his own gambling problem. 13-minutes.

Eli ★★★★★

My nephew’s health class watched this, and the head-bump scene made everyone lean in. The 20-minute runtime kept their attention without dragging. I’m glad it finally made him think twice about borrowing money for bets.

Natalie ★★★★★

The story really hits home for teens—Mike’s downward spiral into borrowing from classmates feels uncomfortably real. I showed it to my 9th graders and the discussion afterward was the most engaged I’ve seen them all year.

Emma ★★★★★

The classroom discussion guide is perfect for sparking real conversations with my 8th graders about risky choices. Mike's story about borrowing money to cover gambling debts feels painfully realistic, and the head-injury scene really grabbed their attention.
