Billy Phelan, a slightly tarnished poker player, pool hustler, and
small-time bookie, moves through the lurid nighttime glare of a
tough Depression-era town. A resourceful man full of Irish pluck,
Billy works the fringes of Albany sporting life with his own
particular style and private code of honor until he finds himself
in the dangerous position of potential go-between in the kidnapping
of a political boss's son. In relating Billy's fall from the
underworld grace and his storybook redemption, Kennedy captures the
seamy underside of a brassy, sweaty city that would prefer to
pretend that the Depression doesn't exist.
