Plot

At age thirty, Cameron Day has given up his chances at pro-basketball fame and settled into an aimless life. The mental demands of being a professional athlete were just too much for Cameron to handle, and just as he was set to break big in the world of professional sports, the once-promising athlete mysteriously vanished for ten long years. A chance encounter with a beautiful woman lands him smack in the middle of Southern California's pro beach volleyball scene. Mia helps to enlighten Cameron by teaching him about the Green Flash: that fleeting moment when the sun falls over the horizon and all of nature become completely brilliant for a fraction of a second. A naturally talented true athlete, he seems destined for sports stardom once again until his old demons start creeping in, threatening his chances at success.
