BREAK DVD

Spencer Pryde (Gittins) is a promising snooker player caught up in London's gang culture of drugs and knife crime. Estranged from his father (Mably) who is serving a lengthy prison sentence, Spencer lives on a rough estate with his mother Cathy and spends his time hanging out at the local snooker hall, owned by retired gangland figure Ray (Hauer).

Spencer seems destined to follow in his father s footsteps until a seemingly chance encounter with a stranger named Vincent Qiang (Yip) presents him with an opportunity to play in a prestigious tournament in Beijing. But when Spencer learns that his father has been pulling the strings and is working with Qiang, he rails against their attempt to help him.

Then an insurmountable debt to Ray leaves Spencer with a dilemma; stay and face the music or use the talent he has been blessed with and make a break for a better life.
