In the concrete jungles of Montego Bay, Jamaica, 14-year-old Kyle Wilson doesn’t have much—just an absent father, a worn-out pair of shoes, and a rusted rim hanging behind his rundown school. But what he does have is height, heart, and hunger. When he stumbles across basketball for the first time, a fire ignites inside him. It’s not just a game. It’s escape. Identity. A way out.

Above the Rim, Below the Poverty Line is a coming-of-age sports drama that follows Kyle from the raw streets of Jamaica to the polished courts of America, and eventually to the world stage. But talent alone won't be enough. Poverty, violence, betrayal, and self-doubt lurk around every corner. This is a journey about more than basketball—it’s about survival, legacy, and the cost of chasing greatness.

6:45 PM – Loading Dock, TD GardenKyle Wilson limped onto the home court once more in streetwear and warmups, his injured leg encased in a lightweight brace disguised under joggers.

But Kyle felt no roar. He felt purpose.
