Synopsis
A former All-American basketball star has fallen from grace because of his dependence on junk. Soon after Will promises his wife, Jean, that he’ll go straight, he becomes a father figure to Little Brother, a street-tough teen who appears to be following in Will’s footsteps. By wising Little Brother up to the needle’s harsh realities, and by coaching a girls’ basketball team, Will renews his sense of purpose and begins to come out from under the influence—though dangerous temptations loom for both him and his young charge.
