One contestant. One spin. Everything to lose. Loretta Jones has spent a lifetime waiting for a lucky break. Broke, overlooked, and running out of options, she drives four hours to Orlando, Florida, for a seat in the audience of Spin, America's favorite game show. Hosted by the charming, larger than life, Johnny Divine, Spin promises contestants one chance at cash, fame, and escape from being ordinary. Loretta believes the promise. So did Liberty Little. The perky teen spun the infamous wheel...and lost. Now she's missing and America is left with questions that Johnny Divine doesn't want to answer. While the country searches for Liberty, Loretta spins the wheel.
One good spin can change your life. One bad spin can erase it. While the country watches, the wheel lands on the skull-and-crossbones. What looks like a bad break on live television becomes something far more sinister. Behind the glittering stage, the patriotic music, and Johnny's perfect smile is a hidden warehouse filled with former contestants who lost more than a game. Their homes are gone. Their money is gone. Their existence is fading from the world outside. And every day, they are forced to manufacture the merchandise that fuels Johnny Divine's fame. Loretta is not ready to disappear. When Spin announces a once-in-a-lifetime "second chance spin," hope ignites inside the warehouse-and so does rage. As Johnny fights to protect his crumbling empire, his ambitious assistant Jodi schemes for her own spotlight, and a mysterious Director turns the show into a national spectacle, Loretta begins to understand the truth: The game was never about luck. Darkly funny, and suspenseful SPIN is a satirical thriller about fame, desperation, exploitation, and the dangerous myth that one lucky break can save us all.
