| Jamal Wallace (Robert Brown), an amazingly gifted African American scholar-athlete from the Bronx, is having trouble fitting in at his all-white prep school. An eccentric, reclusive novelist (Sean Connery) takes Jamal on as his protege and discovers that this athlete is as talented with a pen as he is with a basketball. As the pair becomes closer, the novelist helps Jamal decide whether to pursue a career in basketball or writing in this contemporary drama. | |||||
