Ray Dokes is fresh out of prison and fresh out of options. An
ex-ballplayer released back into the once-rural Ontario of his
childhood with just the clothes on his back, Ray is determined to
stay out of trouble. Which means steering clear of Sonny
Stanton.
Stanton, the rich and violent heir of a thoroughbred dynasty, is
buying an entire concession of farmland for reasons he won't name.
Standing in his way is the stubborn Etta Parr, Ray's old flame, who
faces down Stanton in a last-ditch effort to save her family
farm.
Ray's attempts to sidestep danger end when Sonny pushes things
too far. Ray has a gang of colourful friends and a taste for
revenge. The scheme is audacious. The players are unpredictable.
And one false move will land Ray back in jail.
Poignant, fast-paced, and laugh-out-loud funny, All Hat
is a rollicking tale of small-time scams and big-time
characters.
