But when Coach hands the ball to another playerâTomas, a white kid from EuropeâDrew canât help but feel like heâs not the star on the courts anymore. Heâs seen enough men in his neighborhood flame out to know that if he wants to be extraordinary, his game has to be the best.
As his team makes the playoffs with Tomas on the court, Drew knows he has to come up with a big move to save his fading college prospects. It's all up to Drew to find out just how deep his game really is.
