Cory, Coby, Tyler, Garrett, and Cody run a growing video channel where they perform amazing trick shots. When their neighborhood recreation center faces closure, the five eighth graders plan an epic trick shot show to raise money and save the basketball court where everyone plays. Their plan hits major obstacles when they suddenly can't make any shots, twin brothers start fighting with each other, and a corporate executive who cares only about profits tries to shut down the community space. Meanwhile, their mysterious friend Panda keeps vanishing at crucial moments. The boys must overcome their shooting slump and work together to pull off a world record trick shot performance. As they battle to save their court, they discover that backward hats might have special powers, cookies can solve almost any problem, and Panda has been working on a secret plan all along. This adventure tests whether friendship and teamwork can triumph over corporate greed.
