In the gritty, high-stakes world of underground pool halls, Famke Janssen delivers a riveting performance as Kailey, a fiercely independent woman whose skill with a cue is her only means of survival. Directed by Chris Eigeman, this intimate drama follows Kailey as she orchestrates a desperate gamble to reclaim the son she was forced to give up years ago. With the help of a seasoned mentor, played by the late, great Rip Torn, she navigates a treacherous path, risking everything on one final, monumental game to secure the money needed for their escape. The film paints a poignant portrait of a mother's unwavering determination, set against a shadowy backdrop where every shot carries the weight of her future. As Kailey confronts her past and the volatile characters in her orbit, including a menacing ex-husband (Matt Ross), the tension mounts in a compelling story of sacrifice and the relentless pursuit of a second chance.
