Strange Luck is an American television series, starring D. B. Sweeney in the role of Chance Harper, a freelance photographer afflicted with a bizarre tendency to always be in the wrong place at the right time. As Chance himself says, If I go to a restaurant, somebody chokes. If I walk into a bank, it gets robbed. Harpers strange luck began when, as a small child, he was the sole survivor of a plane crash that killed everyone else aboard, including both of his parents.
