A chance encounter with an older ace leaves an impression on Val as a child, and when their paths cross again in the smoke-filled fervor of the Saint Louis pool scene, Jasper Slovansky will sense in Val the type of potential he might have wished he himself had developed, instead of squandering. Val wants to leave his unfulfilling, nine-to-five life behind and make it as a pool player, but navigating the gray area between professional and hustler is as tough as running out a table with no safeties. His girl won't get on board, he's not sure he can trust Jasper, and his mom's mounting medical bills are muddying the waters. When Val starts trusting his cue, his talent takes him all the way to the elites, but a revelation about his true identity will call into question everything he's ever worked for. Pool enthusiasts will love this fast-paced, authentic ride from opening break to the final pocketed ball.
