A luxury Porsche is stolen from a wealthy neighbourhood by Santino, who arrives back in Sunshine to take his teammates Jacob, Deng Deng and Dazzler for a joyride. But by the end of the night a young, teenage girl from the affluent Messina family will be lying in a hospital bed fighting for her life. After another demoralising loss, Jacob decides the Sunshine Kings need a better coach if they are going to have any shot at making the finals. Jacob is determined to win to keep his dream alive: landing a US College basketball scholarship that will set him on the path to his ultimate goal: the NBA. A chance encounter with forgotten local hero, Eddie Grattan, a former American College basketball player in the 1980s, convinces Jacob he has found the coach the team needs. But convincing the misanthropic Eddie to do it doesn't prove easy.

Eddie is now the official Sunshine Kings coach and he proves a tough taskmaster. While Jacob sweats on the police investigation, knowing a criminal record would destroy any chance he has of playing basketball in the United States, Zara begins to turn a suspicious eye to Dazzler.

Eddie is the king of Sunshine, coaching the team on a winning streak into the finals. Meanwhile, Zara continues to uncover pieces of the puzzle about the night in question. Jacob earns his golden opportunity to impress the US Talent Scout, but the criminal investigation might place his future in jeopardy.

Relations between Jacob and Eddie remain strained amid premiership celebrations in Sunshine. The arrival in town of a Talent Scout from the US convinces Eddie that he must face up to the mistake from his past in order to heal the wounded Jacob and free him to perform at his best.
