Matt is a high-school basketball star in Riverton, Indiana. The movie starts with his best friend driving him to the game in a clunker of a station wagon complete with fake-wood paneling, and they're late. The coach won't bend the rules, so Matt doesn't get to play, until the crowd makes it clear they're not happy; and the Giants' long winning streak might have been broken if the coach hadn't given in. The team is soon on their way to a state championship. Meanwhile, Gar is falling for Bridge, a pretty reporter for the school paper who doesn't understand basketball's appeal. Matt's brother Keith is out of prison. Their abusive father makes it very clear that Keith is a disappointment to him, and he's not quite satisfied with Matt either, despite Matt's star status. But Keith has plans. Those plans could get him sent back to prison, but it doesn't matter. Keith doesn't care. And Matt wants to support his brother, who convinces him his actions are like those of Robin Hood. No one will get hurt and the only victim will be a drug dealer. Matt drags Gar along, but things don't go as planned, and someone starts taunting Matt, reminding him, though not in these exact words, "I know what you did." And the taunts become more than that. Matt could be in danger. Will this affect Matt's game? Will his team win the state championship?
