A charismatic teen is thrown into a crisis of life and love when he must decide whether to leave his rapidly gentrifying Brooklyn community to pursue a prestigious academic scholarship.

This film profiles Rah Wiggins, coach of New York City’s most prolific street basketball team, the Sean Bell All-Stars, who’ve dominated the summer tournament scene for more than 20 years. After the NYPD’s infamous killing of Sean Bell in 2006, Coach Wiggins renamed the team after his fallen friend. In this short documentary, Coach Wiggins visits his former neighborhood in Queens, where his friendship with Sean Bell once blossomed. We also get a coach’s view inside a tournament game at Gersh Park in Brooklyn.
