A power-broker ward-heeler, Bill Grimes, wields more power than the elected politicians and has no problem in getting matters-of-the-city handled in which ever way is best for his needs.

Jimmy, the brother, is not a scholar and the teacher rules he can`t play until he gets his school grades up...and that`s final.
