Intelligently made basketball movie which combines coming of age drama with the nitty gritty of ghetto life. High school kid Kyle is a promising sportsman with a great future ahead of him, but when he meets local hoodlum Birdie he's lured by the promise of fast money and even faster women. Powerful.
