On the 20th anniversary of their victory in the Pennsylvania state championship game, four members of the starting lineup of a Catholic high school basketball team have gathered to celebrate. This reunion may be their last chance to reminisce with each other, due to their Coach’s illness. None of the men’s lives have turned out as any of them had hoped; on some level, all still look to the Coach for guidance.
