The year is 1985. Brian Jackson, a working-class kid on full scholarship, has started his first term at university.
He has a dark secret: a long-held, burning ambition to appear on the wildly popular quiz show University Challenge. But no sooner has he embarked on ‘The Challenge’ than he finds himself falling hopelessly in love with his teammate, the beautiful and charismatic would-be actress, Alice Harbinson.
A hilarious and heartfelt coming-of-age story about first loves, fumbled friendships, and the excruciating business of growing up.
