Spencer Pryde (Sam Gittins), a gifted snooker player is wasting his talents, choosing instead to indulge in petty crime with his mates, but when things begin spiralling out of control, he seeks sanctuary in the one place he feels safe, the local snooker hall. While there, he is presented with an opportunity to turn his life around after a chance encounter with a Chinese stranger named Qiang (David Yip). Qiang, a former 8-ball pool champion turned coach, tries to convince Spencer to turn pro. But, in order to make a new life for himself, Spencer will need to break away from his friends, his environment, and the negative elements of his current life.
