'They say money is power... but I’m not sure this is what they meant. So, there I was: Minding my own business, living out my days as a drone in a corporate hell. A cog in the machine if you will, a little greasy and burning out quickly. My bills were stacking up, rent was due, and to top it off: my car broke down, again. Figuring everything was hopeless, I decided to buy a lottery ticket, a decision that would ultimately change my life in ways I never considered possible. My name is Trianna Von Drake, kind of extra I know but it’s me. Buying that lottery ticket seemed innocent and fruitless, but I was wrong, dead wrong. Not long after I found myself living a lush life I had only dreamed of, but it wasn’t the end of my problems. Just as I was getting used to being happy most of the time, some asshole named Bach shows up with an offer that was too good to be true, and I should have trusted my gut on that one. A manufactured way to give humans the ability to use magic? Far fetched for sure, but the pitch was interesting enough to look into if only for the entertainment value. If only I had known then I was getting myself into the middle of a terrible secret that threatened me, my loved ones, and perhaps the world itself.' Trianna Von Drake is approaching her thirties and is burned out on corporate life. Struggling to get by and make ends meet, she decides to buy a lottery ticket. This decision turns out to be one that will change her life, in ways no one ever expected.After winning the lottery Trianna and her girlfriend Star are contacted by a mysterious organization claiming they have developed a product that gives people magical abilities. A man named Bach offers them an opulent treat for a high cost, but could that cost be more than just monetary? Things soon go awry and the women find themselves caught up in scheme beyond their comprehension as their mysterious new friend turns out to be kidnapping people and experimenting on them to further their research into elemental magic. Trianna is now faced with a fight for her life, and a struggle to reunite with her love. She must gather allies and find a way to get Star away from whatever nefarious plans are in store for them.
