This is a love story and the woman's name is Lady Luck. She is adored by an all-in-game-playing wannabe breadwinner that goes by the name of Vinnie Verelli. His life is a honeymoon marathon of winning streaks and self perceived windfalls that has him flirting with the mercies of ruthless mobsters. Vinnie is a bright street smart young man who uses self perceived luck to live on the edge of brilliance and stupidity. He is thrilled at an amazing set of luck filled circumstances that has him standing at home plate at the famed Yankee Stadium participating in a promotional fund raiser that could win Vinnie one million dollars. Then as luck would have it Vinnie Instantly goes from young street hustler, to game contestant, and then to a patsy for organized crime. Ultimately the health of Vinnie Verelli and the life of everyone he loves becomes a game of craps. Things of honor, integrity, self-respect, and pride may have nothing to do with luck but they certainly evoke things of good fortune as Vinnie finds himself turning to these qualities for salvation. There is no divorcing an unpredictable woman like lady luck and her love like any other woman can fluctuate from day to day or even hour to hour. Read luck you and let me introduce you to her.
