Five neighborhood boys grow up playing basketball together. They each develop their own unique skills that allow them to excel at the game and they become unbeatable through high school and college. They are so good that they become overconfident and smug. Immediately after their last college game, their coach senses a feeling of doom. He takes a walk and stops at a nearby carnival where he sees a fortune telling booth. He stops to see Fiona the fortune teller who seems to know that he coaches the most extraordinary team of all time. She foretells that the five boys will move beyond basketball and master other sports. They will also take on far more deadlier challenges. They'll be sworn in as the United Nations Emergency Task Force whose most important assignment will be to stop invading aliens and overpower them. The fortune teller reveals that the five boys will tackle their mission with overconfidence and conceit. This will result in the failure of their task and the aliens will overwhelm mankind and enslave them. Humans will turn into faceless creatures, helpless against their alien invaders all because of the missions failure. The coach is distraught by what he has just been told. He stands to leave when suddenly a team of faceless basketball players appear. The coach arranges for the faceless figures to play a midnight game of basketball against his undefeatables. The game progresses and the faceless players start to slowly take the advantage. The five unbeatable boys are amazed at the skill that the faceless players posses, they have never played against such a great team. In the end, the unbeatable five lose by a point as they realize that they were overconfident. The faceless players suddenly disappear leaving the five boys puzzled by what happened. The coach then reveals in his thoughts that Fiona sent the team back to the future. The faceless players were actually their own sons to be. The coach hopes that this strange defeat will cause the boys to be more cautious when their fateful day arrives. Only time will tell.
