A transformative film about Kayden, a young basketball star who faces an identity crisis and mental health struggles after a career-ending injury. Dealing with depression, trauma, and the loss of validation tied to his athletic success, Kayden’s journey becomes one of healing through faith, family, and resilience. The film explores the tension between who we are on vs. off the court, and the devastating impact of suicide, depression, and family dynamics—particularly parental incarceration—on an athlete’s sense of self-worth. Kayden’s story speaks to the incarceration of identity athletes often face and offers a fresh perspective on the power of faith and resilience to overcome trauma.
