The film explores Bogut's storied career, from his time growing up in Melbourne, his rise through the University of Utah, and the ups and downs of an NBA career that featured everything from a championship to career-defining injuries. It all culminates in the next phase of Bogut's basketball journey, which will be his first stint on the sidelines, as an assistant coach with the Sydney Kings.
