High Flying Bird

Ray Burke is a sports agent who ends up caught up in the middle of a confrontation between the league and the players during a pro-basketball lockout. Stakes are high with Burke's career at stake, but he has a plan to end the 25-week-long lockout. Erick Scott, a young promising player who has signed a contract but has not yet been paid and so is experiencing financial struggles, comes into play in this daring plan. Ray rages as professional basketball is a world dominated by white businessmen despite being made up of 75% black players, and so has designed this plan with the intention of changing the game forever. Assisted by his former assistant, Sam, he plans to use the stagnancy of old-time big shot businesses against them by turning to streaming platforms over traditional television broadcast.
