Ken Carter (Samuel L. Jackson) is a man on a mission to turn a wild, rude, and terrible Richmond High Basketball Team into a champion team, inside and outside the court.
But it will not be easy. Carter's team is failing their class. On top of that, members of the team are embroiled in different issues, such as Timo Cruz (Rick Gonzalez), who deals drugs for his cousin, and Kenyon Stone (Rob Brown), who struggles to come to terms with his girlfriend being pregnant.
Not to mention that Carter's son, Damian (Robert Ri'chard), wants to join his team.
Carter must now make a hard decision to improve the lives of his team and his son without losing all of the respect he established.
