Description
A youth basketball coach has a horrible day on the job.
Pat is a divorced coach of his son’s 10-year-old basketball team. Over the course of one Saturday game, he must grapple with his ex-wife and her new doctor fiance in the bleachers, a vindictive parent, and an over-the-top opposing coach. As if the stressors inside of the gym aren’t enough, he must also contend with extortion at the hands of a local “businessman”.
