Break (2019)

Spencer Pryce once had it all — a rising snooker star from East London with lightning reflexes and raw natural talent. But with fame came temptation, and with temptation came ruin. After a bar fight turned deadly and a prison sentence destroyed his career, Spencer disappeared from the game… and from himself. Five years later, the world has moved on. Snooker has found new champions, and Spencer is just another forgotten name. But fate — or something like it — comes calling when Terry “The Saint” Sinclair, a washed-up hustler and former snooker legend, finds Spencer working construction and nursing old wounds. Sinclair sees more than wasted potential — he sees a spark, a break in the darkness, and a shot at redemption.

Against all odds, Terry convinces Spencer to train for the International Underground Snooker League — an illicit, high-stakes circuit that operates beneath the radar of official sport. Here, the stakes are more than just cash. Reputation, loyalty, and survival hang in the balance. One false move, one missed shot, and it’s all over. But training isn’t just physical. Spencer must face the demons of his past: a father who abandoned him, a mother battling cancer, and the guilt that haunts him from the night everything fell apart. Along the way, he reconnects with Shelley, a childhood friend turned sports journalist, who believes in his comeback — but isn’t afraid to challenge him when he falls short.

As Spencer rises through the ranks, each match becomes more brutal, each opponent more dangerous. The final table is set in Hong Kong, where shadowy sponsors watch from behind mirrored glass and bets are placed in millions. But winning means more than proving himself — it means freedom. For his family. For his future. In the championship match, Spencer must face not only the reigning champion — a ruthless player known only as “The Monk” — but also the final test of his own self-control. One final shot. One final break. And everything could change.
