The story tells of the rivalry between Alex Hurricane Higgins - whose natural talent and showmanship transformed the image of the traditional game and captivated audiences across the country - and Steve The Nugget Davis, who under the guidance of manager Barry Hearn dominated the sport throughout the 80s and ushered in a new era of professionalism.
In 1972, hell-raising young snooker player Alex Higgins antagonises organisers and the producers of televisions Pot Black with his arrogance and wild behaviour. Four years later, nervous Essex boy Steve Davis takes up his cue, attracting promoter Barry Hearn, who is keen to manage him, though Higgins prefers to tout another young player Jimmy White as his protégé. Higgins wins the Masters in 1981 and 1982 but his conceited attitude means that Hearn refuses to add him to his Matchroom Stable of prospective winners. Indeed, as the 1980s progress, Davis is in the ascendancy whilst Higgins hard living and womanizing lead to his exit from the game.
