It all started with the 2003-2004 basketball season. Two sports fans, Matt and Shawn, instantly hit things off as they bond over basketball and a superstar who would go on to win four NBA championships - LeBron James.

From Pulitzer Prize finalist Rajiv Joseph comes a drama about friendship, drastic life changes, and paths that could divide them.
