What's a promising college basketball coach to do when all the best players are signing with competing schools? Travel to Africa to find the player of his dreams—that's what! Kevin Bacon stars in this cross-cultural comedy of a coach who finds himself in a whole new ballgame where high-pressure, slam-dunk attitudes clash with local native customs for a riotous contest of hoops and hilarity.
