In the sleepy English seaside town of Torquay, the game reserved for geriatrics and pensioners is taken VERY seriosuly. None more so than the reigning champion Ray Speight (James Cromwell - 'Babe'), conservative and stuffy he has been Torquay's home grown hero for over 20 years... but now his title is threatened...

Cliff Starkey (Paul Kaye) a young pretender from the wrong side of town, is daring to go up against him. Armed with his sexy bad-boy persona and a flashy American agent Rick (Vince Vaughn 'Swingers'), Cliff is a fresh and exciting new sex symbol in the game. In fact, he is fast turning Lawn Bowls into the biggest spectator sport in England - possibly the world! To add insult to injury, Cliff's biggest fan is his new girlfriend Kerry (Alice Evans)... Ray's Daughter!
