All bets are off.Blake Mathews is out of luck. The music, the fame, the love of his life... They''re not enough for him. His tendency to make large bets at expensive tables could cost him everything-the band, the money and the girl. Blake thought things couldn''t get any worse, but he lost that bet too. Someone from his past shows up after a decade of silence with new information about who Blake is, where he came from and the fact that he has family who is closer than he thinks.Told on two different timelines-now and then-the story recounts the upbringing of the bass guitarist and his friend, lead singer Xander Varro, dating back to the two meeting, starting the band and the trouble and triumphs that unfold as the two grow to the present-day versions of themselves. For Blake, history tends to repeat itself, but with the help of his band, the girl he''s been chasing since his teen years and the family he didn''t know he had, the chance to break the dark cycles is in the cards for him, if he chooses to play the game.
