Overview
Conrad "Connie" Keen is trying to solve his brother's death. He died 20 years ago from falling off the Ocean Beach Pier. At first it was thought to be an accident. Later, Connie is told he was pushed. Hence, his search for the truth. However, he's limited because he drinks way too much and is crippled with anxiety. The Dark Lottery? That's the opposite of the happy lottery. Plane crashes, car wrecks, falling off piers? All dark lottery stuff. Connie is obsessed with it. And soon he becomes obsessed with looking for his brother's killer — a terrible spin of the dark lottery that could lead to his death.

Conrad "Connie" Keen's only goal in life is to make it to the next day, which, for him, is no easy feat. Fighting crippling anxiety caused by the death of his older brother — who fell off a pier in San Diego in what was believed to be a horrible accident — he binge drinks and obsesses over what he calls the "dark lottery." Opposite of the millionaire-making lottery, this lottery snuffs people out in its own longshot odds, such as plane crashes and car wrecks and other nightmarish accidents. Then one day a woman tracks Connie down and tells him the unthinkable: His brother's death 20 years ago was no accident. He was pushed. Connie has his doubts — both with the implausible story and his ability to do anything about it — but decides to dig into it. That decision leads Connie to the very brink of the dark lottery, a ticket that offers only one payout. Death.
