The Big Fix

Wally Wilson is a seasoned gambler whose talent goes beyond reading cards—he can sense thoughts and shield his mind from others. In a smoky backroom, he and a colorful crew of telepathic hustlers battle each other over a high‑stakes poker hand, each trying to outwit the rest while keeping their mental doors locked. The tension crackles as they juggle bluffing, hidden motives, and the ever‑present lure of an eight‑thousand‑dollar pot.

The night takes an unexpected turn when the enigmatic Tomboy Taylor slides into the game with a proposition: the Kentucky Derby must finish with Flying Heels, Moonbeam, and Lady Grace in that exact order. She claims an unseen patron, “Barcelona,” believes only Wally’s unique blend of horse‑racing savvy and psychic skill can make it happen. Now he faces a new kind of gamble—one where the odds are measured in minds, money, and the thunder of hooves—forcing him to decide whether to pull the strings of a legendary race or walk away.
