Plot

In the heart of New York, David Greene is a passionate basketball aficionado with dreams of coaching. Destiny takes a surprising turn when he's offered to coach at a small college nestled in the vast desert of Nevada. Greene accepts, bringing along an eclectic mix of players each with their unique eccentricities. There's Swish, the gifted player who conceals her true gender from the team, Preacher, a talented player with a shadowy past pursued by ominous figures, and D.C., a skillful player who happens to be an on-the-run fugitive. As the dust settles on the college campus, Greene melds this motley crew with the college's students, transforming them into a formidable basketball team. However, he yearns for more - the respect and recognition his team deserves. Driven by this ambition, Greene devises a daring plan to get the top-ranked team, led by the formidable Bo Winnegar, to challenge his underdogs. This is a tale of the game beyond the court, where Greene must navigate the trials of Brian's strategic passes, Bob's easy layups, Kev's ruthless steals, Mel's exhilarating breakaways, and Reg's steadfast defense to lead his team to glory. Fast Break is a thrilling journey into the heart of basketball, where passion intersects with destiny, and the underdog dares to dream.
