Two weeks before his twentyfirst birthday, Las Vegas native Bobby Ingersoll finds out hes inherited a crushing gambling debt from his scumbag father. The debt is owed to an even scummier bag named Fraser Ruphart who oversees his bottomrung criminal empire from the classyadjacent Trump International Hotel. Bobbys prospects of paying off the note, which comes due the day he turns twentyone, are about as dim as the sign on the towers facade. The two weeks pass in the blink of a (snake) eye, but before Bobbys luck runs out, he stumbles upon enough cash to pay Ruphart off and change his familys fortune. More importantly, he finds himself with a new, for lack of a better word, faith. Bobby does not consign his big break to a higher power what Penn Jillette hero ever could? Instead, he devises and devotes himself to Random, a philosophy where his life choices are based entirely on the roll of his lucky dice. What follows is a hilarious exploration into not so much what defines us as what divines us when we give over every decision from what to eat to whom to marry to how or when to die to the random fall of two numbered cubes. Combining the intellectual curiosity of Richard Dawkins with the humour and grit of an Elmore Leonard antihero, Jillettes uponhisluck Ingersoll is the character we need to help us navigate the chaos of the posttruth era. Well, unless his roll runs cold.
