This drama deals with high school pressure in a gritty, realistic way but reveals that there is always hope when we allow God to be involved in our lives. High School Senior Michael Evans doesn’t like the fact his minister dad and mom move him to New Hope from Colorado. He doesn’t want to try to “fit in” to a new school during, of all times, his senior year. To make matters worse, a fellow student on the basketball team, Lucas, takes a real disliking to him. Mike becomes interested in a girl named Jasmine who was Lucas’ brother’s old girlfriend. Lucas’ brother, Chase, committed suicide and Lucas does not like seeing his brother’s old girlfriend with Mike. He makes life miserable for both Mike and Jasmine. Lucas can’t seem to move forward with his life and doesn’t want Jasmine moving forward either.
Mike could help the basketball team but has a long way to go in learning how to be a better player. To compound things, Mike’s mom and dad invite a new couple over for dinner, along with their son, and it turns out to be Chase’s parents…and Lucas! Mike brings Jasmine to dinner and Lucas can’t handle it.
