William “The Baron” Addington (Johnny Cash) is a former pool pro whose lifetime of drinking has cost him his career and family. Trying to set himself straight, he quits drinking and begins to play pool for charity.[1]

When William comes across a young man named Billy Joe Stanley (Greg Webb) managed by Jack Streamer (Darren McGavin), the two team up.[1][2][3]
