An Atlantic City postcard is the only remnant that Pony, a Texas drifter, has of his estranged mom. Needing money to head north to find her, Pony accepts a job from a local thug who operates out of a skating rink. Here, Pony encounters a kindred spirit; a fifteen-year-old, runaway girl who claims the rink as her own. When he tries to help her, things spiral out of control.
