A story of the fate of identical triplet brothers from a small New York town during the 1950's-60's. They grow up in the shadow of three major institutions: West Point Military Academy, Maryknoll Seminary, and Sing-Sing Penitentiary. The boys are identical in looks, but have distinctly different personalities, strengths and weaknesses. Most important to them is their unbroken bond to each other. A bold and daring response to their environment is their only chance to find their individuality. Basketball plays a prominent role.
