He lives in an RV parked next to a trailer park sewer lid, thinking every morning he'll fire up the RV and leave the music scene behind. The highlight of Owen's day is going to the Waffle House, ordering the same meal, served by the same surly waitress. When he discovers he's won the lottery, he can't collect because of back issues-taxes; an overdue library fine; a paternity suit; and an ex-wife who forgot to file the decree. When he does collect, he's besieged by the sultry waitress, the Iranian liquor store owner who sold the ticket, and a sting by murderous conspirators willing to kill anyone but Owen. If Owen is going to be a tycoon he must rediscover himself, and that path leads to shocking discoveries. The lies in his past fire up the rage inside.

Owen's fix for his lottery rage is to run or hide- but neither is going to work.
