In the high-stakes world of youth basketball, a talented teenager’s future hangs in the balance. Michael Rainey Jr. stars as Terron Forte, a 14-year-old phenom whose viral highlight reels have made him a national sensation and a target for the lucrative, cutthroat AAU circuit. His father and coach, Josh Charles, is determined to protect his son from exploitation, but the pressure mounts as slick sports agents, ambitious college recruiters, and rival coaches circle like sharks, all wanting a piece of the next big thing. Directed by Ryan Koo, this gripping sports drama delves into the complex and often corrupt underbelly of amateur athletics, where the dreams of a child become a high-stakes business. As Terron navigates the intense scrutiny and temptations of sudden fame, he and his family must decide what they are truly playing for, testing their bond and their principles against a system designed to commodify talent.
