Salvador Luis "Slam" Almaro wants to play basketball for Canada in the Olympics, and he figures that helping the Brookfield Blues will make him look better to the coaches running the tryouts. His job becomes more demanding than expected when star player Inez Ramirez is beaten up before an important game and her mother, Coach Ramirez, responds by quietly removing herself and her daughter from the team.
