...Or Your Money Back

A seasoned criminal lawyer finds his routine disrupted when a wiry, sharp‑eyed client strolls into his office clutching a compact, black box. The man, Jason Howley, claims the device can subtly alter the speed of roulette balls and dice, promising a quiet edge for anyone daring enough to use it. Their conversation quickly turns from polite small talk to a detailed, almost clinical description of lenses, silver plates, and a dial that mimics a roulette wheel, leaving the lawyer both skeptical and intrigued.

As Howley hints that his invention could land him in legal hot water—especially in Nevada, where gambling is legal but cheating is a swift crime—the attorney faces a dilemma. He must weigh his professional duty against the lure of a case that could plunge both of them into a precarious jam. The stage is set for a tense dance of law, morality, and the thin line between cleverness and criminality.
