When she is sent to an orphanage at the age of eight, Beth Harmon soon discovers two ways to escape her surroundings, albeit fleetingly: playing chess and taking the little green pills given to her and the other children to keep them subdued.

But she can never quite overcome her urge to self-destruct. For Beth, there's more at stake than merely winning and losing.
