A basketball coach travels to Africa to recruit a new star.

Jimmy Dolan is a college basketball coach who wants a big promotion. To get it, he needs to make a dramatic find.

But Saleh is the chief's son and has responsibilities at home, since the tribe's land is threatened by a mining company with its own hotshot basketball team.
