During that time he married and ran his own pool hall, but having left that all behind he s now badly in need of money, and pool is all he knows. On the beautiful aquamarine waters of the Florida Keys, he ropes his former rival Minnesota Fats into a series of exhibition matches in the hopes of picking up a cable TV deal. But playing the old master, a terrible feeling nags at him that he s sat on his talent and that the best part of him is now gone. And when he vows to get back in the game seriously, this time he finds a challenging road ahead, and the only thing standing in his way is himself.
