Jack Castle's life is in one hell of a mess - credit companies are after him, his best friend Gary 'The Wizard of Odds' Dodds has cooked up another get-rich quick scheme that is a sure thing (sure enough to get them both arrested for fraud), and he's about to become entangled in a dangerous mess of a case. When a beautiful young girl shows up at his doorstep claiming to be his daughter, alarm bells go off. When Jack learns she's on the run, scared, and tells Jack that she thinks someone has killed her mother...and that someone is her stepfather.

Whatever the outcome, Jack Castle will do what it takes to find the truth, no matter how painful it may be. And he'll even try not to get killed in the process.
