Ricky Altieri got lucky in College and made one of the first highly successful commercial financial programs and made a lot of money. But now, 25 years and two marriages and several unsuccessful career attempts later, he's going through a trust-a-farian midlife crisis as he realizes that he must find a purpose and come to terms with the death of his beloved second wife, Kamag.
But sometimes, when one is too self absorbed or immature to find their own purpose in life, a purpose finds them! And in Ricky's case, this purpose is in the form of the forces of Hell and the Abyss and their various depradations on humanity.
And, although change is common in a male in their late forties, Ricky is somewhat unprepared and even in denial regarding the magical changes occurring to himself as he interacts with the various forms of magic and darkness, kicking ass (mostly, unless his ass is being kicked) and taking names.
Is this really the best that fate could come up with to protect humanity? An overgrown, immature poor little rich kid in his late forties?
Sometimes however, fate can be far more clever than mere humans give her credit for...!
