Cuno doesn't have much to lose to start with. A dead-end job, a dumpy apartment, and a partner that doesn't seem particularly upset to be leaving him behind on their own way to a better life. Then he meets Archer Pope, and his life just gets worse.

A novella set in the new San Francisco of One Day Lucky, Roller Dogs follows a man who thought he had nothing left to lose until everything he had left was taken away.
