Once upon a time, Jaycen “2 J’s” Jennings (Snoop Dogg) was Long Beach Polytechnic High School’s star football player. He later won the coveted award for outstanding college player in the country and was a top draft pick, too. Then, after becoming one of the world’s leading wide receivers, his inflated ego and poor sportsmanship got him tossed off the field. In short, he’s still pissed and refuses to fade away quietly.
Rather than putting in the work to repair his tarnished public image, Jaycen blames everything and everybody else. It’s only when he finds himself at the mercy of the court that he finally realizes how far he’s fallen off.
Being ordered to perform 300 hours of community service in his old neighborhood seems like the final blow, but he soon discovers that it might be a blessing in disguise.
When he stumbles upon a fledging youth football team in desperate need of a head coach, Jaycen decides to take on the challenge, but for selfish reasons. Along with the prospect of reconnecting with his past love, Cherise (Tika Sumpter), whose son is on the team, Jaycen hopes his good deed will propel him back into the spotlight.
But first, he has to get the players in shape, contend with a contentious rival coach, Chip Collins (Andrew Schulz), and keep his homeboy and self appointed assistant coach Kareem (Mike Epps) on point.
