Cason Murray is a high school dropout.
He takes care of his younger brother on his own, while struggling to keep up with the overdue bills that find their way into his shabby townhouse in Gladbrook, a dilapidated and dangerous neighborhood in Downtown Eastside, Vancouver.
He works at the Hockey Haven, a popular sporting goods store downtown, and tries his bes to make ends meet, week after week.
Then, he meets Shane, the captain of an up and coming Minor League team.
With heavy persuasion and a fun little shootout, Cason is soon thrust into the world of minor league hockey, with 200,000 dollars on the line and a ragtag group of players in his corner.
