Synopsis

Imagine eavesdropping on Kinky Friedman, Carl Hiassen and (late LA Times Sports Columnist) Jim Murray after a night of drinking beer and telling lies, that's Power Play. Power Play features unforgettable characters and a surprise ending that gives it vast mainstream appeal. Ben Daniels, the lead sports anchor at the number one television station in Philadelphia, discovers a fix in the making while covering the Philadelphia Sergeants in the National Hockey Association Finals. In on the scam are Toby Anderson, the Sarges' star player, who is the proud owner of one of the finest collection of wines and addictions in all of pro sports. Oscar Peters, the smarmy pro-wrestling mogul-turned league owner, who could sell Challah bread to Hitler and step over his dying mother to collect the cash. Little Ray, "The Urethra," Tortolla, a local mobster with an axe to grind and a mean streak that would make Santino Corleone blush. Daniels becomes an unwilling pawn in a dangerous game of double cross. He utilizes the full power of his profession to stay one step ahead of Anderson, Peters and the mob, proving that the truth lies hidden in the vast shadows cast by the media's glaring spotlight. In the end, he walks away a winner after making the ultimate score on the Power Play.
