Mack Morris, a star high school point guard in a small Pennsylvania town, begins senior year grieving the death of their father. Transfer student Liv Cooper joins the team, and the two develop an electric chemistry on the court that becomes a relationship off it, one that feels taboo in their town. Caught among grief, drugs, sex and a college signing deadline, Mack has to choose between ambition and self-destruction.
