The two strike up an immediate friendship and gerry Quickly persuades his new friend to accompany him on a road trip to a legendary high stakes poker game in New Orleans. As they make their way down the Mississippi River, Gerry and Curtis manage to find themselves in just about every bar, racetrack, casino, and pool hall they can find, experiencing both incredible highs and dispiriting lows, but ultimately forging a deep and genuine bond that will stay with them long after their adventure is over.

A rare look into the deeper motivations of such complex and vivid men as Gerry And Curtis each volume is different as are the fates and choices of the gambling men they represent. Through the songs of Big Bill Broonzy, Memphis Minnie and Joe callicott, amongst others, the actions and choices of Mississippi Grind are illuminated all the more. Marshall Chapman, who plays Curtis' mom, contributes the track "Rainbow Road", while Leo Welch's original track "I Don't Know Her Name" is also featured on the "Curtis' Road Mix" recording.
