John Zbikowski (Michael Kelly) is a down-on-his-luck, small town bookie having a hard time collecting on outstanding debts. After a one night stand with an ex-girlfriend (Pamela Adlon), John strikes up an unlikely friendship with her 12-year old son Brian (Jesse Ray Sheps) and develops a plan to recoup the money owed to him by taking bets on Brian's Youth League Baseball games.[3]
