Sixteen year-old Denn Doyle's troubles begin with a seemingly harmless--and extremely profitable--game of poker with some neighborhood kids. That one afternoon fuels his desire to join the adult world and provides him the means with which to do so: casinos and poker. His "hobby" progresses to a habit and then to an addiction that threatens relationships with his parents, girlfriend, and best friend. Hautman explores the escalation of Denn's gambling without preachiness, dealing with his problem in a straight-forward and knowledgable manner.
