Thomas, Jack and Wayne are the "Stickmen", playing an on-going stake game of pub pool that seems them touring the under-belly of the Wellington pub scene. During a high stakes pool tournament a weird and wonderful collection of players stand in the way of the "Stickmen" winning the big cash prize. Behind it all is the omnipresence of Daddy, a crime lord who pulls all the strings. Not for all tastes, nor I suspect was it meant to be.
