With Black Berry hot on their heels, J.C. and his thirteen-year-old pool playing prodigy son, Kid, head for the small town of Upland, Arizona.

The stakes and outcome of a nine-ball game in the back room of a run down saloon called the Last Chance turns the town into a circus, and brings J.C. full circle to where it all began for him.
