It was written and directed by Randall Fried, and stars Michael Warren, D. B. Sweeney, Victor Love, Bo Kimble, Richard Jordan and Janet Julian.

Byron Harper operates a non-profit farming system on a playground in the Cabrini Green neighborhood of Chicago with the aim of landing black kids into college basketball programs.

However, Zack happens to be the only one on the spot with a car, so he helps Byron to rush one of the Breds into a hospital, where he also threatens the clerk with a gross negligence lawsuit in case treatment would not be provided.

One of the players, Casey Caldwell was once one of the Breds himself, but was dropped due to his drinking habit, and is making repeated but unsuccessful attempts to regain Byron's trust.

Byron hopes to turn him pro before his senior year, and tries to arrange a million dollar contract for him with top agent David Racine, for which he also requests Zack's legal counsel.

Zack manages to gain his trust, and Matthew reveals that he was deliberately injured by Truth on their senior night, when he outplayed him, and he was so disgusted of the entire system, that he decided to quit afterwards.

But when finance basis was established for the film in 1990, and actual shooting was about to start, Jordan, who was then already an international star, withdrew from the project, and the role eventually went to Bo Kimble.

[3] The song TOO GOOD which was written and produced by Cydney Wayne Davis and Lloyd Tolbert and recorded by the vocal trio, Babydoll, was also featured in several scenes in the film and included in the soundtrack.

The film was reviewed by the Chicago Tribune and Roger Ebert, the latter wrote that "the movie meanders and loses its way, drags to a halt when it should be most exciting, and goes through strange shifts in tone and style.
