Synopsis:
Gathering to mourn the passing of their beloved basketball coach, five childhood best friends and teammates reunite at the summer lake house where they celebrated their biggest championship victory thirty years earlier. Over the course of the Fourth of July weekend, the kids-at-heart realize that just because they’ve all grown up and started families doesn’t mean that they’ve lost that old spark. Picking up where they left off, they discover that growing older doesn’t mean growing up. Adulthood is what you make of it, and no one at the lake house is eager to be the grown up of the gang.
