- Summary
-
- At twelve years old Perri Daniels is a tomboy at heart, fitting right on in with the guys. Instead of making up cheers and playing double dutch, like most girls her age, she spends her time fighting, hooping and playing video games alongside her best friend Plus. Living only two doors down from one another in the Millwood Projects of Prince George's County, Maryland, the two grew up more like family than friends. However, as they later enter their teenage years, Perri discovers her secret desire to be more than just Plus's best friend. She has a terrible crush on him that seemingly just won't seem to go away. On prom night, the two surprisingly lose their virginity to one another causing their relationship to take an unforeseen turn. On the exact day of her and Plus's high school graduation, she discovers she's pregnant with his child. Forced to face the hard reality that, in spite of everything, Plus merely considers her to be his "friend", she gives up her own basketball scholarship and carries on. But as the years continue to go by, Perri grows into this vivacious woman and the two gradually switch roles. Emotions Plus never knew existed come flooding in when he realizes he may have to share his best friend with another man. When Derrick, a tall handsome basketball player sweeps Perri off her feet, she finds herself torn between the two. NBA bound, Plus eventually goes on with his life, only sharing a daughter and a withering friendship with Perri. But when tragedy strikes, will the two circle back to the connection they once shared as youths, or will they let sleeping dogs lie? Find out in this urban adventure and romantic journey through time, Love and the Game
