A father's freedom depends on his son's choice.

With promises of a reduced sentence, Jake Shuttlesworth (Washington) is granted temporary release from state prison in order to persuade the nation's top college basketball recruit...his estranged son Jesus...to play ball for the Governor's alma mater! But just as Jesus faces intense pressures and irresistible temptations contemplating his bid decision, Jake is also forced to consider not only what's best for himself...but what's best for his son.
