Book Description

Most people go to Las Vegas with dreams of striking it rich, winning big at the casinos, and becoming a millionaire. This is not Kayden June's dream. He has come to Las Vegas to lose everything if possible, a seemingly easy thing to do in a city designed for consuming money, but a task that becomes deceptively difficult for this unlucky man from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. When a three-year engagement to his best friend Lucille falls apart, Kayden himself falls apart. He now dreams of an outrageous gambling spree in Vegas, anticipating he will lose his entire life's savings. Instead, he gains an unexpected friendship under circumstances he could have never imagined. All thanks to a drug called Dexomeral. Dexomeral (Dexo for short) can fulfill your every dream. It can take you anywhere or anywhen you want to go. You can become anyone you want to be. Dexo users experience their perfect life all within their minds, thanks to a drug effect called the Lucid Hypnotic State. To his chagrin, Kayden meets and then befriends a Dexo user, a man whose fantasy is to become a young school-age boy just starting life in kindergarten and still needs diapers at night. But who is the real person behind the dream? With Dexomeral, the lines between reality and fantasy can be erased. Can Kayden give his friendship to two wildly different persons of vastly different ages? Well, as the slogan goes, “You haven’t seen everything until you’ve seen it in Vegas.”
