Real Volume 1

A motorcycle accident, bone cancer, a speeding truck crashing into a boy on a stolen bicycle -- tragic, life-changing events turn the worlds of three young men upside down. Three very different personalities have only one thing in common -- their passion for playing basketball.

Meet Tomomi Nomiya, a young tough with an unquenchable desire to play basketball. When he gets into a motorcycle accident rendering a girl paralyzed for life, Tomomi's life is changed forever. He quits his basketball team, drops out of school, and struggles to find some kind of resolution to his oppressive feelings of guilt.

One day, Tomomi sees a guy in a wheelchair in a gym with a basketball, and he's stunned to discover that this so-called handicapped player has incredible skills on the court. And in this moment, his love for playing basketball is re-ignited and both lives are changed in the process....
