Jimmy Bordeaux, son of Peter 'the Piper' Bordeaux, a professional pool player, sees his first pool table on his third birthday. His mother doesn't want her husband taking Jimmy to "pool halls." That ends in a divorce, and Jimmy grows up shooting pool, entering and winning junior tournaments, and living mostly with his mother and her new husband.
