Logline
A fast-talking agent launches a prep school to give overlooked teenage basketball players from across the globe a shot – but when ambition turns to fraud, their dreams unravel. As cracks in the program uncover truths of human trafficking and exploitation, the players must face a painful question: were they ever meant to succeed, or just used for someone else’s gain?
