Away from home and off to a seminary boarding school for the first time, Roch finds he is expected to play basketball. It s seen as an important tool for facing life s challenges if he is to go very far on the road of life. And so begins the latest in Roch s sports misadventures as fear of failure sends him running into the night and terrors worse than those on the basketball court. It all leads to a surprise ending as he finds his own way of making his mark."
