Miami, 1998. Poverty, broken families, and a prejudiced system push underprivileged youth to the fringes of society. But, for a magnetic group of teens, there's a reprieve. A game where itʼs not about where you come from, but how you play. That equaliser is chess. “Mr. T” Martinez, a chess militant and passionate coach, leads them to a completely foreign field of battle.
