Chang Jung-Chi returns with a dramatic sports film with brotherhood at the center. An inseparable bond is tested between Hsiu-yu and Tung-hao, two brothers who share a painful past and dreams to play in the cutthroat Taiwanese High School Basketball League (HBL). Born into the lowest rungs of society, Hsiu-yu and Tung-hao go from playing streetball to playing for radically different teams: Hsiu-yu is recruited by the well-endowed defending champs, whereas Hsiu-yu joins the ragtag Kuang Cheng basketball team, a team short on funds but with plenty of never-say-die spirit. As protective Tung-hao grapples with leaving his brother and the growing distance between them, the two brothers who once only had each other must now face off on opposite teams. Can they achieve their dreams and still power forward with their brotherhood intact? (San Diego Asian Film Festival)
