Lincoln Mendoza, a talented young basketball player, finds himself torn between two worlds. At his new, affluent school, he must compete against his old team from the barrio. As the game approaches, Lincoln struggles with loyalty and identity. Can he play his best without betraying his roots, or will he lose no matter the outcome? The stakes are high, and Lincoln must navigate this emotional court to find where he truly belongs.
Lincoln is in a jam when his basketball team at his new school–where the students are rich and mostly white–faces his old team from the barrio on the boards. How can he play his best against his friends? No matter who wins, it looks like it will be lose-lose for Lincoln.
