Ryan Carroll drives other people's cars for a living and shares a cramped apartment with his girlfriend Irene. One rainy night he comes home early and finds her with Victor, the manager of a casino, and Victor's men beat him bloody in the street. With his mother's medical bills piling up and nothing left to lose, Ryan discovers his vision has changed: he can see through solid objects.
He walks into the Serana Casino with a thousand dollars and a plan. By the time he leaves, he has taken the house for hundreds of millions and forced the casino queen, Seraphina, to honor a bet that costs Victor his hands. But the power keeps growing, and so does the target on his back. From the casino floor to short-selling corporate giants to a showdown with the Rothschild heir, Ryan climbs a ladder built entirely out of enemies.
