LOGLINE:  Following a late-game mishap with his team’s season on the line, a rising -- yet controversial -- basketball star's childhood friend and manager must chart a course of action to secure his embattled client's future.

SEEKING:

CAMERON HUNTER: Early 20s Black man. At least 6’1 or taller - he is an NBA superstar. A hyper-athletic hooper with the confidence of Dion Waiters, the aloofness of Ben Simmons, and swagged-out like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Cam was blessed with God-given talent that allowed him to rise above his early competition and largely coast by unscathed, until now. His overconfidence and above-it-all nature masks a fear of failure that he refuses to reveal to the outside world - even those closest to him. A temper simmering under the surface - he could snap at any moment. LEAD.

ROLAND: Early 20s Black man. Roland is Cam's best friend and personal assistant. Loyal as they come, he's always ready to crack a joke or add some levity, no matter the gravity of the situation. He keeps Cam grounded and helps him block out the noise. A boy in the world of grown ups. SUPPORTING.

SEAN: Mid 40s-50s Male. The team's General Manager. He's a pragmatic competitor. His voice is firm, but it also gives off the sense that he rarely gets more than 4 hours of sleep. VOICEOVER ONLY.

AARON: Mid-30s to early-40s Male. Aaron has an anxious energy. He's always a little out of breath from shuttling from place to place. He's curt because he needs to be. VOICEOVER ONLY.
