He's handed his acceptance and football scholarship with one condition, that he meets with a peer mentor once a week. After a serious warning from the head coach, and threats of being kicked off the team, Adam realizes that the only way he's going to keep his starting position is by actually attending these meetings once a week. Even if it's not by choice. Sarah Campbell and Adam Watson's worlds collide in a unique set of circumstances, and neither one of them are necessarily thrilled about it.
