Logline

Former best friends, Rick, Claire, and Benny have been running pool hustles on random people at bars for years, but when recognition and jealousy mix into this falsely platonic trio's life of pool, it comes down to the night of a major pool championship years later, where they have to physically and mentally dominate against each other for the world to see.
