Description
BJ, a talented college basketball player, lives and breathes the game. For BJ, life means nothing without hoops. Her mother-an abstract painter-doesn't get it. Or at least she pretends she doesn't. Everything changes when BJ accidentally discovers her dad, a man who's been a shadowy presence throughout her life. As if that's not enough of a surprise, she begins to suspect that two of her teammates, and her best friends, may actually be her half-sisters. As BJ struggles to keep her eye on the ball-literally-her life heads into overtime.
