Description
What happens in Vegas when an all-asexual online friend group attempts to break into a high-stakes gambling club? Shenanigans ensue.
Some people join chess club, some people play football. Jack Shannon runs a secret blackjack ring in his private school's basement. What else is the son of a Las Vegas casino mogul supposed to do?
Everything starts falling apart when Jack's mum is arrested for their family's ties to organised crime. His sister Beth thinks this is the Shannon family's chance to finally go straight, but Jack knows that something's not right. His mum was sold out, and he knows by whom. Peter Carlevaro—rival casino owner, mobster, and jilted lover. Gross.
Jack hatches a plan to break into Carlevaro's inner sanctum and find what he's holding over his mum's head, but Jack's going to need help. He recruits his closest friends, his online asexual support group, to form his team. All he needs to do is infiltrate a secret high-stakes gambling club, save his mum, and dodge any dark secrets about his family he'd rather not know, while hopelessly navigating what it means to be in love while asexual. Easy, right?
