这是一个很戏剧化的搞笑片。故事的主人公是一位典型的“衰人”，集学习障碍症、Tourette综合征、平衡能力缺乏症、酗酒症于一身。从曼哈顿来的他，邂逅了一个来纽约掘金的姑娘，后者鼓励他可以将这数大缺点整合起来，做些正常人无法做到的事情……

Based on the acclaimed play that the Independent of London hailed as "a bracingly uncensored exploration of the tensions and treacheries in a beleaguered male subculture", PONIES is about three men in a treacherous subset of society, and uses the gambling parlor as a backdrop for a provocative modern morality tale. Ultimately, these men-immigrants, Americans, human beings-are forced to protect from one another their most valuable commodity: the right to stay on American soil.
