The mind. A great weapon, and an even greater weakness. A young man named Devon Wades is fed up with the world. Defeating every champion chess player in the world and having a mind unlike any other it's too easy to predict the future and all its possibilities without half of a thought. He says he'll give up anything for life to be just like a game. Just like his chessboard. But what's the fun in that? Where's the wager? And more importantly, the risk? He is undefeated without having to think harder than a primate. Any deal made and/or broken, he always wins. Until one day he signs the wrong contract, and it changes his life forever. Bringing a new meaning to the word insomnia, he must go through a journey of self discovery, bravery, and sacrifice to save everything. In a world made for him to lose.
