Franklin, a down-on-his-luck Hollywood agent, is drowning in mounting gambling debts. Desperate to find a way out and save himself from his persistent bookie, he stumbles upon an unexpected solution: forming a skateboard team to participate in a lucrative competition. Franklin hastily gathers a group of young, talented skateboarders, including a skilled but troubled kid named Brian. Seeing an opportunity to turn his fortune around, he promises the team fame and fortune if they win the contest, motivating them to give their best effort despite their inexperience and personal challenges.

As the group starts training, Franklin faces numerous obstacles. The kids are rebellious, coming from various backgrounds with differing personalities, making them hard to manage. Additionally, the world of competitive skateboarding presents challenges Franklin never anticipated, requiring him to learn quickly to guide the team effectively. The team begins forming bonds as they practice hard under Franklin's tutelage and discover a sense of purpose and camaraderie. Meanwhile, as stakes grow higher, Franklin's bookie pressures him relentlessly, further complicating his already strenuous situation. Amidst rising tension and unpredictable events, team unity and determination are put to the test as they grow closer to the competition that could change their lives.
