Living in the heart of the Italian-American community, they lead an ordinary but content blue-collar life, finding comfort in their tight-knit bonds and cultural traditions, surrounded by their boisterous extended families. However, everything changes when their son, known as "Sticks" due to his lanky physique and gentle demeanor, emerges as a standout talent on the high school basketball team.
