Rufus Peabody abandoned as a baby, tormented and bullied as a child and adult; seeks to find his way to happiness through love, and the world of gambling. For so long he has lived in the silence of his daydreams, now a real dream is perhaps within his reach. He thinks he is being given a chance; a one in a million chance to achieve wealth. But, is this real? Or, will this dream also vanish, like so many others; and return him once again to his life of solitude and silence?.
