Fraser tries to prove that a talented young basketball player, who happens to be a gang member, is innocent of attempting to kill another teen.

Detailed Overview

While downtown having Fraser's boots repaired, Ray and Fraser hear gun shots from a nearby alley. Ray apprehends a teenager, Tyree, for the shooting of another teen in what appears to be a gang related incident.

The situation is complicated when Fraser, in search of his lost boots, uncovers a clue convincing him that Tyree is not responsible for the shooting. Yet, Tyree insists that he is guilty. Fraser posts bail for him, and even convinces Ray that the man he arrested is innocent. Despite Tyree's claim to guilt, Ray defends the offender at his trial acting contrary to his role as arresting police officer.

Tyree, along with his buddy Reggie, are talented basketball players about to play in their big game. They hope to get picked by the college recruiters. Playing college ball, they believe, is the only ticket out of their neighborhood. This is the game in which they have invested all their hopes for the future. They also anticipate a visit from Tyree's hero, Isiah Thomas.

As Ray and Fraser try to find the real shooter and keep Tyree out of prison and in the big basketball game they run afoul of the neighborhood leader and drug dealer, Lou, who doesn't appreciate a Mountie investigating in his territory making their investigation more difficult.
