Jimmy Dolan is a college basketball coach that aspires to be very successful in his career. He will need to make a sensational discovery in order to get it. He travels all the way to the interior of Africa in the hopes of signing Saleh, a tremendous basketball prodigy whom Jimmy had seen in a home movie. But Saleh is the son of the chief, and as such, he has obligations at home, especially considering that a mining firm that has its own hotshot basketball team is threatening to take the territory that belongs to the tribe.
