Lured by a five-million dollar prize, six gamblers are trapped by their own greed and find themselves playing against each other for their lives in a deadly game of chance. People begin to disappear as a maniacal sociopath plays at his own twisted game. That's wher I come in, white horse and all. My name is Nick Thomas. I'm a struggling but contented mystery writer whose noble intentions and errant judgement often lead me into precarious situations that take resource and imagination to survive. That's where I begin to shine. I'm a Viet Nam vet, recovering alcoholic, and self-proclaimed philosopher of life who lives in an old cottage by the sea on Cape Cod. I wear blue jeans, listen to the Rolling Stones, drive a tempermental old MG, and I am indeed a lucky man. I've been given a second chance in life. I have a great woman by my side, good friends who are there when I need them, and I'm doing what I love to do. Sounds perfect, right? But as always, life laughs while we make our contented way.
