Elle, Cayne, and Matt all want the same thing: a ticket out of Palm Crest. For Elle and Cayne that means a coveted American college basketball scholarship. For Matt, basketball is simply the first place he has ever felt he belongs. But Elle is struggling to keep her home together with her mother’s deteriorating mental health, while Cayne is losing himself to his father’s rigid expectations. Then Matt’s unexpected selection in the school team triggers further problems. As the season unwinds, their lives are caught up in a web of lies and a police investigation that could ruin everything. The Season of Impossible Dreams is a story about the weight of expectations, the pain of growing apart, and the force of true friendship.
