The premiere episode is titled ‘Malice at the Palace.’ On November 19, 2004, a massive brawl broke out during the basketball game between Indiana Pacers and the Detroit Pistons. At the tail end of the NBA match, the Pacers were leading 97–82. When Ben Wallace attempted a layup, Ron Artest of Indiana Pacers fouled him from behind. This resulted in the former aggressively shoving his opponent, and a fight broke out between the players of the two teams.

After the fight was broken up, Artest was at the scorer’s table trying to calm himself down just when a fan supposedly threw a cup of beer at him. The matter escalated quickly after that as the pro basketballer charged at the fan. The game was halted there and then as the chaos that ensued engulfed players and fans alike. Almost 17 years have gone by since the incident.

In the interview segments, the players involved in the brawl talk about the effects of that fateful night. Although the incident itself was quite a difficult thing to process, the aftermath left a long-lasting impact. The way the media portrayed them continued to affect their everyday lives, and it took a long time for them to get back on their feet.
