Set at the University of Connecticut women's basketball program, this fictional story follows KK Arnold, a confident sophomore guard known for her loud personality, TikTok energy, and deep bond with her teammates, and Lilly Sharp, a quiet, reserved freshman with a soft sense of humor who slowly finds her place on the team.
