Ahmed is a young teenager from Yemen, whose only sense of security and comfort is basketball. One day, during his morning routine of shooting around alone on the court, he is approached by a Latino teenager, who challenges him to a game of one-on-one. This game leads the two on an adventure through various neighborhoods and cultures throughout the city and by the end of their exhilarating journey, we get the sense that the world is a bit better because of it.
