Jessie Smith's mind is the reason she's UCLA's youngest ever quantum physics professor. It also makes her a poker playing genius. Her mind is stretched to the limit when her purse is stolen down on skid row. She's lost something potentially lethal, and she risks her life roaming "Bum Boulevard" trying to get it back. Time is running out for Jessie, and in more ways than one.
