Basketball and music collide in this smart, endearing story about a daughter yearning to connect with a distant father.

Coach Laura visits her divorced dad John on weekends, desperately trying to breach the gap between their passions.

Only long-dead modernist composer Charles Ives can convince John to see the connections between violin and basketball and help this family reunite.
