Summary

In 1992, a young filmmaker named Mike Tollin chronicled one season in the lives of the Morningside High basketball team in Inglewood, California. They were the defending state champions, and all five starters were returning for their senior year. They seemed a shoo-in to win a second straight state title, and the five guys all thought they were on a path to become the next Jordan. However, the season didn't go quite as planned, but Tollin never forgot the magic of the Morningside 5. In fact, he returned a decade later to see how they were doing and made a follow-up film on their various exploits. But 10 years wasn't long enough to get the full picture. Tollin revisits and reunites the Morningside 5 to follow their very disparate paths. An intimate portrait of 25 years in the lives of these five men from Inglewood, the film is a story of friendship, failure, striving and, ultimately, redemption.
