The bar in an old Pennsylvania steel town, housed with many of lifes losers and disillusioned men, is the main setting for this slice-of-life film. Michael Madsen is the bar owner, who is deep in debt to the towns book-maker and loan shark Burt Young. Chris Penn is one of the bars main inhabitants as he hides from his failing marriage to Mary Stuart Masterson. The bartenders sister (Virginia Madsen) is about to be married, and her former fiancé (Tom Sizemore) shows up in town, after leaving her at the altar years before.
