During her sophomore year, rising sports star Parker Atkinson suddenly finds herself thrusted into the spotlight as her high school football team's starting quarterback after the first-string player is sidelined by a serious accident. Already a softball standout, Parker faces the thrill of new opportunities and the scrutiny of doubters who can't handle a female in the quarterback position. Amidst homophobic slurs, skepticism, and the pressures of being a teen athlete, Parker must prove not only her skill on the field but her strength off it.
