Danny Walker lives in Middletown, Long Island with his parents Richie and Ali Walker, who were recently separated. Danny is 13 years old and is attending Josh Camerons Basketball camp in Cedarville Maine. He is going for the experience but also because he is short and wants to find out if he can play against stronger and much more taller guys. His friends Will Stoddard and Ty Ross are also going with him to the camp to help encourage him and also for the experience. Danny comes across some conflicts like having his dads coach, Ed Powers, faking a knee injury and also dealing with the camp bully. The story ends with Danny scoring the final point and winning it for the Celtics.
