INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORY

Can one small school accomplish the impossible? Does the heart of a champion beat in their chests?

Mississippi, 1964. Poverty-stricken Dean Barnes lives and breathes basketball. Idolizing his court-dominating big brother, his hoops-obsessed community goes wild when the high school team wins the state championship. But when tragedy strikes, the devastated teenager tumbles into a self-destructive spiral.

Drowning his sorrows by shunning his friends and getting drunk at parties, Dean is surprised when the high school basketball coach takes him under his wing. And emboldened by his new mentor's unswerving faith in the team's potential, the freshly motivated player redirects his grief at winning the ultimate title against all odds.
