From the outside, Scott Meyer had the picture-perfect life. Married his high school sweetheart, five kids, his own accounting firm, a home in the community he grew up in, and the respect of everyone around him. He was the trusted professional people came to with their money. He was also quietly destroying everything he'd built.

In this episode, Scott traces a gambling addiction that started as something social and slow, two or three trips a year, until a single jackpot rewired the way his brain saw the casino. He's remarkably candid about the double life that followed: the lengths he went to so his wife wouldn't find out, the morning a detective was waiting in his driveway, and the question his wife asked first when it all came apart.
