What's really rattling D-Bow is the cocky white guy, Daryl Gibson, angling for his job at point. It's time for D-Bow to man up, and bring home a win for Marion High, his inner-city school in Indianapolis that’s never had a state championship.

Senior Year. Glory time! But nothing’s easy. Girls. Family. The rehabbed knee. And there’s this white guy. S’up with that?
D-Bow’s game has it all, and colleges are taking notice. But he’s still rehabbing a knee injury and his job as Marion East point guard is under threat. Plus he’s got family drama. And girl trouble. Can he put it all together for his senior season? Or will he crash and burn like so many Marion East players before him?
