Having recently moved to Montreal, Artiste, a 17-year-old African boy, infiltrates a street basketball competition for the chance to win a dream pair of shoes. As the competition gets fierce with Jamal, one of the city's top players, we discover that his intentions weren't just to win a simple prize, but to use the only asset at his disposal to prove his worth in a community that sees him as an outsider: his talent for Basketball.
