Webb Saddler has a shady past, but he's tried to clean up his life. He swears he's out of the game for good. Since he was young, he's had one constant friend - Ollie. But Ollie has no plans to better himself in that way, it's just too damned lucrative to keep keeping on. 

When the duo plans a road trip across the country ending with a Vegas March Madness watch party weekend, they encounter an obstacle. A big one that Webb sees as his fault.

With a change of circumstances, and an interruption in the fun, Webb takes on a task that turns from inconvenient to disastrous in the Valley of the Gods. It's a point of no return. 

The friends try to resume their weekend of gambling, fandom and over-indulgence, but what follows is a pressure cooker of desperation, fear, danger, and death.  He never knew the way to the straight and narrow would be on such a crooked road.
