Run time: 101 min. | U S A

Homer Hobbs (Tyson Beckford), home after two years in jail, returns to a town caught in the depths of the Great Depression where he is thrown together with four strangers, each struggling to survive: Benny, the street hustler eager to begin life anew in the sunshine of Florida; Clarence, a nobody who aches to be somebody; Gracie, the despairing owner of a boarding house; Lucy, whose past has caught up with her. Life is grim, but on Sunday nights, the men of the neighborhood piece together the finest attire their meager lives can muster to compete in an underground contest like no other. The nominal award is the five-dollar prize, but the real prize is the chance to feel like a king, just for an evening.
