One hungover dad. Twelve pre-teens. Zero coaching experience. Pat’s worst 24 hours imaginable becomes court-side chaos when he's thrust into a day of social humiliation and escalating disasters — with screaming parents, a maniacal coach, a money grabbing pimp and a match he has to win to prove to his son he is not a total mess.
Pat, a washed-up youth basketball coach with a hangover and a broken heart, has to coach his son's scrappy team during a big game with their main rivals—just as his ex-wife gets remarried across town. The kids are uncoordinated, the parents are screaming, the rival coach is a maniac, a crazy pimp demanding money and Pat’s own life is falling apart faster than his team’s chances of winning. As the game spirals into madness, Pat must scramble to keep it together and show his son and the world he is not the disaster everyone thinks of him as.
