Storyline:
They gave her the title. She’s about to earn the respect.
Isla Gordon has spent her life being underestimated and overlooked—even by her own family. But when she’s unexpectedly appointed President of the LA Waves, a high-profile professional basketball team owned by her family, everything changes.
Thrust into a world dominated by legacy, money, and ego, Isla faces skepticism from colleagues, players, and the press. With something to prove and everything to lose, she must navigate locker room politics, boardroom battles, and family tension—all while trying to bring the Waves back to championship glory.
A bold mix of sports drama, family legacy, and modern workplace tension, Running Point delivers a fresh take on leadership, gender roles, and earning your shot when no one thinks you belong on the court.
