Synopsis

In Hollywood, five people in the movie industry agree to participate in a devious and ingenious lottery to commit murder. The lottery is designed so that four of the five will have no way of knowing who the actual killer is. Their intended victim is Able Dane, a brilliant but self-absorbed film director who has damaging material on all of them and is literally making each of their lives a living hell.

The lottery is completed. The murder committed. Time passes and it looks as if the crime will go unsolved. One policeman however, is not content to let this cold case freeze. He brings in his former military mate, San Diego Private Investigator Brig Ellis, to help.

Soon, multiple motives come to light. But just as soon, bodies start piling up. Prime suspects, the actual lottery participants, are being eliminated one by one. By whom? And why? What is really going on, who the hell is responsible, and who actually killed Able Dane? It’s up to Ellis to find out… if he can avoid becoming a target himself.
