In the midst of the Great Depression a small Western town slips further down into despair with the killing of a small lonesome boy who attempts to rob a jewelry store. The boy symbolizes the misery and despair of all of the town's inhabitants until the arrival of "The Great Leonard", a magician who is manipulated by the town's sub-rosa benefactor into playing the billiards game of his life, against himself, his self-doubt, and his almost total abandonment of life itself. The game fires the town with an excitement it has never known and involves all the citizens and the wonderful characters who play their part in this story of challenge, love, and magic.
