After nightfall, David Caine inhabits a world of risk,
obsession, rich rewards, and sudden, destructive downfalls.
A compulsive gambler possessing a brilliant mathematical
mind -- and an uncanny ability to calculate odds in the
blink of an eye -- he prowls the underground poker clubs of
Manhattan, winning more than he loses. But Caine is a man
prone to crippling epileptic incidents -- and one night he
makes a costly miscalculation, suffering the most intense
seizure he has ever experienced. And his life spins madly
out of control.
Desperate to regain his equilibrium, he agrees to test an
experimental drug with unnerving side effects. Suddenly he
is having visions of the past, present, and future; either
peering through a window into an alternate reality or
teetering on the precipice of a psychotic breakdown.
Chemistry and destiny have colluded to grant David Caine the
astonishing ability to foresee the consequences of his
actions and the probability of various outcomes, both good
andterrible.
But with his "gift" comes grave danger, for he is not the
only one who knows his secret. Frightening powers operating
from the shadows now want him for their own, forcing Caine
to seek help from a most improbable ally -- a beautiful
rogue CIA agent skilled in the death arts -- on a desperate
race for survival with his sanity hanging by the slenderest
of threads.
