Almost all of the werewolves of the world live in tight knit gangs, or "dens", for protection from outsiders - and each other. Every major metropolis has one; to belong to a den is to have a family for eternity. Of course, there are those, like Caleb Beck, who are old enough to remember a time before the dens formed; those who prefer to carry the burden of their curse alone, and who would risk everything to be free of the beast within.
And "everything" is exactly what Caleb has just lost in one single desperate roll of the dice. He came to Las Vegas chasing tales of a fabled lycanthropy "cure", the only one in existence - his last hope of returning to a normal, human life. Instead, he's lost both his money and his freedom. That's how it goes in Las Vegas - the house always wins.
In this instance, the house takes the shape of werewolf Vi Langdon, head of the gambling arm of the Aces den, and current owner of the alleged cure. The promise of this cure brings interested parties from far and wide to the doorstep of Vi's casino, but some aren't as gracious about losing as Caleb. Vi is in need of a bodyguard, and rumor has it that Caleb is the best in the business - and now, he owes her.
If Caleb can keep Vi safe, he just might earn the cure he's desired for so long - of course, it's possible he may find something even more desirable in the cards.
