Synopsis

Kailey Sullivan (Famke Janssen) is a street-smart woman who makes a hard-scrabble living playing poker and pool in New York City. Having lost visitation rights in a bitter divorce, Kailey maintains contact with her 11-year-old son Gulley (Jaymie Dornan) through letters and clandestine meetings in Central Park. When Gulley shows up one day with a broken arm, Kailey begins to suspect that Gulley’s father (Matt Ross) may be responsible. Anger quickly turns to resolve as Kailey becomes determined to protect the boy and reclaim her role as his mother at whatever cost. Enlisting the help of her mentor Quinn (Rip Torn), a grizzled pool hall proprietor, they set up a high-stakes pool match that, if she wins, will give Kailey enough money to start a new life with her son. As she racks the balls and prepares to break, Kailey takes her last shot at redemption.
