We all know that money can cause major rifts in families, but what happens when a brother refuses to pay back a life-saving loan? Ten years ago, our protagonist (let’s call him ‘Gambler’) was in deep trouble due to a gambling addiction. His brother Seth stepped in, taking out a $12,000 loan to help Gambler repay his debts and start therapy. Fast forward a decade, and Seth is now asking for his money back, but Gambler isn’t quite ready to cough it up.
