A dark, intimate portrait of a talented teenager crushed under the weight of family dysfunction and paternal betrayal, where athletic promise cannot shield him from emotional collapse.

Anthony Keller, star of his NYC high school basketball team, is riding his way to Cornell on a sports scholarship. But he can only maintain his popular jock facade for so long, as his troubled father Lee has a gambling addiction that threatens to derail his dreams both on and off the court.
