Dale dreams of leading his team to the City Basketball Championship. These are shattered when the top player is replaced by the son of a team sponsor. He turns to Miss Furbish, the beautiful homeroom teacher whose kindness builds into a dangerous passion. Then, he discovers a hardscrabble team of street-ballers that may have what it takes to win. |
| Synopsis: |
It's Detroit, 1961. Fifteen-year-old Dale Wheeler, the son of an unemployed, alcoholic autoworker, has big dreams of leading his team to the City Basketball Championship. But his dream is shattered when Dale-the co-captain and top point guard-is cut from the team to make way for the son of a big money team sponsor. His life in a tailspin, Dale finds a helping hand in Miss Furbish, the beautiful homeroom teacher whose well-meaning kindness gradually builds into a potentially dangerous passion. And in his lowest times, Dale gets a final shot at his dream: a hardscrabble team of street-ballers that may have what it takes to win the City Championship. |
