A young college football coach is sent to rural Alabama to try and sign the nation's top high school defensive end and soon finds himself trying to outflank rival recruiters and win over the player's wildly dysfunctional family.

The coming-of-age drama tells the true story of an all-deaf high school track & field team from the Oregon School for the Deaf. The team overcame discrimination and adversity on their way to an unprecedented victory against much larger Oregon public schools—becoming the Oregon State Track & Field Champions in 1986.
