Pivot Move

At 14, Boyd's life goes the way of his hair—down the drain. His father leaves and Boyd's curly brown mop follows. Now he wants out, too.

Things seem to improve when he starts playing basketball. His unusual interest in the inspirational sayings of Friedrich Nietzsche is kindled further when he decides his new coach actually represents them. 

Boyd tries his hardest to win his coach and teammates over, but his misguided attempts alienate more people than they impress. Then he blows the big game.

What's his next move? Running off to his dad's? Or can he find another way to pivot?
