Plot

After going undrafted by the NBA, Danny Miles (Glen Powell) has been toiling in obscurity in the minor leagues for years. But when he wins a 10-Day contract to join the Philadelphia 76ers, Danny finally gets his shot. Over exactly one and a half weeks, Danny faces a series of mental, physical, and emotional challenges that completely disrupt his life, as well as the lives of those around him. Just when he should be putting everything else to the side and concentrating entirely on basketball, his whole world seems to conspire to prevent that. His new teammates bully or ignore him. His childhood best friend, Paul (Lamorne Morris), the franchise star of the 76ers, grows resentful of Danny's rise. His ex-girlfriend, Michelle (Erinn Westbrook), still the love of Danny's life, tries to shake off the ghosts of their troubled past, but ends up complicating their future. And his mother, Cheryl (Jessica Hecht), a former pro athlete herself, becomes the ultimate, overbearing stage-mom. If Danny is going to succeed during these intense ten days, he has to find a way to rise above the noise, or else let his dreams slip away forever. Our season unfolds over 10 episodes, each covering one day.—Treefort Media
