brief_description
Luke Rhinehart is a psychiatrist, a husband and a father, his life locked down by routine and order -- until he picks up the dice. The dice govern his every decision and each throw takes him further into a world of risk, discovery and freedom. As the cult of the dice grows around him the old order fades: chance becomes his religion, the dice his god.
