Rob Bishop and his four best friends wanted to get out of the 'hood and make better lives for themselves. Basketball was the answer.
But when the team's best player has his college hoop dreams derailed by circumstance, he takes matters into his own hands and jumps to the NBA, almost severing all ties with "the boys".
Tragedy reunites them ten years later. Although their childhood friendships have evolved with age and time apart, the fab five learn that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
