Plot summary
Alex Higgins plays snooker with a hell-raiser's manner, and in 1972 his arrogance and wild behavior set him against the game's organizers and the makers of the television show Pot Black. Four years on, a nervous teenager from Essex named Steve Davis takes up a cue and draws the promoter Barry Hearn, who wants to take him on. Higgins, for his part, would rather take on Jimmy White, another young player, as a protégé. Higgins takes the Masters title in 1981 and holds it a year later, but his conceited attitude means Hearn will not sign him for Matchroom, the stable of players he promotes.
