Gar loves his hometown basketball team. His best friend, Matt is the star and toast of the town. When Matt persuades Gar to take part in the robbery of a drug dealer, things don't go as planned and Gar faces the challenge of saving the team from a desperate predicament with the state title and Matt's future on the line. Indiana high school basketball serves as a backdrop for a story that explores peer pressure, perspective and the difference between a friend and a hero. Gar believes Matt can do no wrong. While he supports and encourages his best friend's antics, Gar finds himself falling in love with Bridgette, an outsider who doesn't embrace the celebrity status given basketball players in her new hometown. From high school parties, pep rallies and Hoosier hysteria, to robbing a drug dealer, being stalked and blackmailed, defying a hero, confronting his adversaries, and ultimately saving Matt and the team he loves from a plot to throw the championship game, Gar comes to terms with his false belief, and gains a new level of awareness about himself and his hometown. Home of the Giants is a coming-of-age tale that constantly surprises, and at the same time, conveys universal themes. There is also something in this story that goes beyond plot, the feeling that something accidental and true to life is happening. It's unpredictable, funny, dangerous and scary, and all at the same time -- just like high school.
