What if luck wasn't a blessing but a curse that isolates you from everything you truly value?
Edward "Luckless" Lockless has spent decades as the university's janitor, beloved by everyone despite his legendary bad luck. When colleagues surprise him with an expensive metal detector for his birthday as an ironic joke he laughs.
But finding a mysterious carved meteorite changes everything.
Suddenly, Edward's luck transforms dramatically-money flows, opportunities appear, and he acquires wealth beyond his wildest dreams. Yet with each stroke of fortune, he loses something far more precious: the genuine connections and love that once made his life meaningful.
As his former best friend Professor Taho Stormluck becomes obsessed with claiming the artifact as rightfully belonging to his people, Edward must confront a terrible truth-some gifts come with a price too heavy to bear.
An exploration of fate, friendship, and the true nature of fortune that asks: Is it better to be burdened by luck?
