Plot Overview

Bailey's annoyed at first about being summoned to Las Vegas for a 'babysitting' job--watching a young boy while his uncle is unavailable--but he soon warms up to the kid. He soon finds out what's so special about the boy--he's a math genius who's figured out mathematically how to win a fortune at the crap tables, a talent which his uncle is more than willing to exploit. Stu then finds himself caught between two rival Syndicate leaders who think that he's there to make trouble for them, and he thinks that they're after the kid, but when it turns out that neither man knows anything about the boy and his system, Stu has to wonder just who it is that poses a threat to the boy.
