Description
Alton Davis had reached the pinnacle of success as the National Basketball Association’s leading superstar. When his Step-Sister is mistakenly shot dead by a DEA agent during a drug raid, Davis finds himself thrust into the role of leader against the drug war. He aligns with his pastor, the racially divisive Reverend McGinnis to seek justice. A trial ensues against the DEA which grips the nation as protests and rallies are staged across the nation. On the other side, an ambitious drug czar, John White is unapologetic as he heads up Operation Door-to-Door, a nation wide militant drug investigation. Alton Davis is caught between challenging authority or remaining silent to appease his sponsors. Through this struggle, he earns the title of the Chosen One.
