Hideyoshi, a homeless youth roaming the streets of New York in the near future, makes his living by hustling other children in street‑ball matches under flickering neon lights. Suddenly he has been drafted into a professional squad—an outfit with an extraordinary mission that promises redemption. Once humans ruled the sport of basketball. Now physically superior alien athletes dominate the game, and human players are nearly extinct on the courts amid rising tensions between species. Hideyoshi"s crew—the first all‑human team to enter the Space League—seeks to reverse this imbalance and inspire hope, bringing the championship back for all to Earth.
