 Richard Owens became the Merseyside County darts champion when his only real competition, his best mate Miles Fuller, moved away to become a world class jockey. Fourteen years later, and a week before Christmas, Miles appears to Richard in a dream and delivers a racing tip that costs Richard his life savings. As Richard despairs, fate conspires to bring him face-to-face with Miles again, giving them a chance to settle the score once and for all, with a game of darts.
