It's 1985 and Brian Jackson has arrived at university with a burning ambition
- to make it onto TV's foremost general knowledge quiz. 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.

When Alice fails to fall for his slightly over-eager charms, Brian comes up
with a foolproof plan to capture her heart once and for all: he's going to win
the game, at any cost. Because - after all - everyone knows that what a woman
really wants from a man is a comprehensive grasp of general knowledge . . .
