Kidnapped during early childhood, Mason suffered the ultimate betrayal when his reunited biological parents framed him for a hit-and-run committed by their favored adopted son Evan.

Entering the high-roller underground salon, Mason exposes the rigged card decks used by Evan's syndicate, winning millions in medical compensation and utterly humiliating his corrupt kin.
