One man. One hope. Once chance to become a legend.
Seventeen-year-old Samuel Sooleyman comes from a village in South Sudan, a war-torn country where one third of the population is a refugee. His great love is basketball: his prodigious leap & lightning speed make him an exceptional player. & it may also bring him his big chance: he has been noticed by a coach taking a youth team to the United States.
But it's the longest of long shots. His talent is raw & uncoached. There are hundreds of better-known players ahead of him. & he must leave his family behind, at least at the beginning.
As American success beckons, devastating news reaches Samuel from home. Caught between his dream & the nightmare unfolding thousands of miles away, ' Sooley', as he's nicknamed by his classmates, must make hard choices about his future.
