WHAT THE STUDIO WANTS YOU TO KNOW
DESCRIPTION:
Johnny was a pool hustler,
one of the best, until he discovered how his manager Joe had ruined his
life. He left Joe in the hands of some heavy hitting drug dealers and split
the scene. Now he's trying to go 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 debt
to Joe, who has returned with a new poolhall 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 payoff that's bigger than money, bigger than
life, bigger than either player can imagine. Because somewhere on the 8-ball
waits a man's soul.
