Based on a true story.

In the sleepy seaside town of Torquay, on “The English Riviera”, the game reserved for geriatrics and pensioners is taken VERY seriously - none more so than by the reigning champion Ray Speight. Conservative in all senses, Ray has been Torquay’s home grown bowls hero for over 20 years. But now, his title is threatened.

Cliff Starkey, a young pretender from the wrong side of town, shares an unexpected passion for the game. Armed with his sexy bad-boy persona, he quickly achieves notoriety and then a flashy American agent Rick, plus an army of screaming female fans. Truth is, Cliff is an exciting injection of new blood in a very old fashioned game, and a new sex symbol to boot. He started turning lawn bowls into the biggest spectator sport in England - and possibly the world! To add insult to injury, Cliff’s biggest fan is his new girlfriend Kerry... Ray’s daughter.
