On the anniversary of their victory in the Pennsylvania state championship game, four members of the starting lineup of a small-town Catholic high school basketball team gather with their coach to re-live their youthful glory.

With savage humor, THAT CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON probes the darkest aspects of the American dream of success at all costs.
