About
Rent on Apple TV+ or buy on Apple TV+.
A former basketball all-star, who has lost his wife and family foundation in a struggle with addiction, attempts to regain his soul and salvation by becoming the coach of a disparate ethnically mixed high school basketball team at his alma mater.
A heavy, melancholic stillness settles over this portrait of a man trying to outrun his own wreckage. Redemption arrives not through grand gestures, but through the rhythmic, quiet grind of coaching a group of unlikely teenagers.
