Dario is a handsome 25-year-old and a promising basketball player who is always followed by devout groupies. He is an arrogant smartass who insults people. One day, in the middle of the championship season, he is diagnosed with muscular dystrophy and on to complicate things, after being cited for wreckless driving, the judge condemns him to work in a rehab center for disabled. There, he becomes the trainer of a group of young players who are confined to wheelchairs and who depend on him to become a real team. Through this experience and an encounter with a young woman named Isabella, he will realize that he finally needs to change.
