Bilal Irving (Jordan Johnson-Hinds), a professional basketball player returns to his small, Northern Ontario town of Dumont. He re-connects with his former coach (Andrew Dice Clay), and conflict ensues as they both struggle to put their egos and complicated pasts aside to mentor the town’s only basketball team. In the vein of the great sports underdog movies like Hoosiers, Bad News Bears and The Blind Spot, Warrior Strong is a heartwarming story of triumph both on and off the court.

Hunted by his Dad, Cameron and his Mom move into an isolated farmhouse where Cameron sees and hears things that aren't possible. He begins to question everything and must uncover the secrets before they tear him apart.
