The Phantoms is a television movie inspired by the heart-warming, real-life events surrounding the 2009 New Brunswick provincial championship victory by the Bathurst High School (BHS Phantoms) boys varsity basketball team, a year after a terrible road accident takes the lives of seven players and the coach’s wife. In the following school year, as tragedy hangs over the community, the BHS Phantoms are reconstituted. The ragtag bunch of players gels as a team, and manages to lift community spirit on the long road to the provincial basketball finals.

Ce drame est inspiré de l'histoire réelle d'un triomphe dans une petite ville, alors qu'une équipe de basketball d'école secondaire tente de rebondir après une terrible tragédie qui a coûté la vie à sept joueurs et à la femme de l'entraîneur.
