Cursed at birth, Charlene 'Chuck' Manchester hires out her own bad luck, providing disaster where someone else can profit. A warehouse job goes wrong-meaning Chuck destroys the place according to plan, but the authorities finally catch up to her-not to mention the curse she's run from her whole life. A vengeful cult leader, a mob matriarch, and an insurance investigator on a quest finally have her where they want her. But Chuck won't let bad luck stop her, even if she has to seek out allies she turned her back on a long time ago.
