Description
When Samuel Sooleymon receives the chance to play in a showcase basketball tournament in the United States, it's a dream come true. But the opportunity is complicated by devastating news from home: a civil war is raging across South Sudan, and his village has been ransacked.
Partly out of sympathy, the coach of North Carolina Central offers Samuel a scholarship, and he moves to Durham to enroll in classes and join the team. With a fierce determination to succeed, Samuel works tirelessly on his game, shooting baskets every morning at dawn by himself in the gym. As he prepares to sit out his freshman season, he's determined to bring his family to America.
As Samuel navigates his new life in the United States, he must confront the challenges of his past and the uncertainty of his future. With his basketball skills and his unwavering dedication, he's determined to make a better life for himself and his loved ones.
