Bookroo's summary
Brandon's basketball team, the Clovers, is on a losing streak, and he's taking the blame. As the pressure mounts, Brandon must prove he's not the source of their bad luck. When their bus breaks down en route to a crucial game, can he turn misfortune into a chance for redemption? The stakes are high, and time is running out. Will Brandon find a way to rally his team and change their fate?
