Danny Owens is dedicating his seventh grade season to his Super Bowl champion father, who recently passed away. Danny promises everyone that, just like his dad, he’ll dominate the big game at the end of the season and earn a spot on the high school varsity team.
Then his English teacher catches him cheating on a test. Even though Danny can retake it, he knows there’s no point. He can’t read. And if Danny can’t pass this class, he won’t be eligible to play in the championship game that could unlock his future.
While Danny’s resentment rises against the only person willing to help him win off the field, the pressure to succeed begins to weigh heavily on his shoulders. Danny is being tested on every level now, and to pass, he may very well have to choose a different path from his father’s.
