Sonny Stanton, spoiled heir of a thoroughbred dynasty, is buying up farmland to build a resort and golf course. The only one brave enough to stand in his way is Etta Parr, Ray’s old flame. When Sonny’s million-dollar horse goes missing, he forces the sale of the concession’s remaining farms. Ray reacts by coming up with a plan to stop Sonny in his tracks. One false move and Ray will land back in jail. A modern western set in the thoroughbred racing world, adapted from Brad Smith’s country noir novel, All Hat is about hope, redemption and getting even - not necessarily in that order.
