Jimmy Stone once had it all, but now his snooker career is declining and his personal life is a mess...can he turn his game around? With the pressure of competing at the top of the game proving to be too much for him, a string of defeats causes him to turn to drink for comfort. Soon his decline begins to spiral out of control. A dramatic turn of events forces Jimmy to rethink his future. With the World Championship just around the corner, is there enough time for Jimmy to reclaim his status? Covering similar territory to The Hustler by Walter Tevis, this is a gripping fiction for snooker fans.
