Billy Future is the champion Odds-Evens thrower in a semi-underground league of louche gamblers in 1957 New York City. He is so good at guessing other people's choices for putting out one finger or two, one could hardly call it guessing. Against the backdrop of the last day of the last baseball season before the city's beloved Giants and Dodgers are slated to move to California, Billy must face his most formidable opponent yet, an up and coming southerner called The Savannah Kid, who turns out, shockingly, to be a housewife fleeing her domestic life, and who is determined to upend everyone’s sense of reality.
