Being hooked on the game could cost you your life.

Johnny was a pool hustler, one of the best, until he discovered how his manager, Joe, has ruined his life. He left Joe in the hands of some heavy-duty drug-dealers and split the scene. Now he's trying to get legit, save his relationship with his girlfriend Tara, and maybe even save his life.

Johnny's younger brother Danny is eager to follow in his footsteps - eager enough to find himself in debut to Joe who has returned with a new pool hall protégé. When Danny robs a store to pay back Joe, it's time for his big brother to take his cue. The final game has a pay-off that's bigger than money, bigger than life, bigger than either player can imagine. Because somewhere on the edge of the 8-ball waits a man's soul.
