●1985年，Brian Jackson，一個勞動階級而且拿全額獎學金的小孩開始了大學的第一個學期。他有一個秘密-持續賽，全英國最受歡迎的電視節目，大學挑戰賽-現在，終於他的夢想似乎要成真。他在學校組隊，通過了資格賽，而且可以上電視。生活一切看似完美，一切才剛開始，Brian知道一點點的知識都有可能變成危險的事。
●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 British TV quiz show University Challenge–and now, finally, it seems the dream is about to become reality. He’s made the school team, and they’ve completed the qualifying rounds and are limbering up for their first televised match. (And, what’s more, he’s fallen head over heels for one of his teammates, the beautiful, brainy, and intimidatingly posh Alice Harbinson.) Life seems perfect and triumph inevitable–but as his world opens up, Brian learns that a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.
