Teenage baller Kaden Hastings has a fit when his family moves to California. He can handle the new medical diagnosis that slowly eats away at his life, but when his parents separate him from his teammates and girlfriend to move him to California to see an epilepsy specialist, Kaden can't deal with it anymore. Logan Hastings has a confession. For him, the move is a chance to finally help his brother, who now has no one else to turn to for support. Logan finds that helping his brother means lying at school, lying at home, and even letting Kaden risk his life for basketball.
