On a summer's day, Tom and a few friends have been invited to a millionaire's mansion to play on the purpose built basketball court. All of Tom's friends, Keifer, Patrick, Robby and Tom's brother, Jeff are there to make up one team. The other team comprises Dante Halleyville, the new boy on the block with regard to basketball, who is being feted as the new Magic Johnson. Amongst his team mates is his best friend, Michael. The game proceeds quietly and in a friendly manner at first, but soon Fiefer and Dante start pushing each other around. Michael gets a gun from the car and points it at Fiefer's head. Tom manages to talk Michael out of doing anything stupid. Later that day, three of Tom's friends have all been shot dead and Dante and Michael are on the run.
