His name was Roy Sands, and he had everything to look forward to. He was getting out of the service and coming home to marry his beautiful Fiancee. He had his debts paid, money in the bank, and a happy new life ahead of him. Then he disappeared.

When the distraught blonde hires "Nameless" to investigate the suicide of her kid brother who had just won $200,000 at the Reno slot machines, he is pulled into the dangerous, questionable world of high-stakes gambling in mob-dominated casinos.

A ruthless and amoral man feels fury and a desire for revenge upon "Nameless," the man he believes is responsible for ruining his life. One night he abducts "Nameless," takes him to a mountain cabin, chains him to a wall, and leaves him to die a horrible death. In the icy whiteness of dead winter, "Nameless" has nothing to do but search his memory. Who is his captor? When did their paths cross? And what could he have done to warrant such revenge?
