Anthony Nilsson has every girl's heart and every guy's respect. Upon moving to Campbell, California, he rises to great prominence, earning the title of "Campbell's Hot New Swedish Jock". Everyone at Campbell high, students and teachers alike, perceive Anthony to be the perfect child. Athletic, handsome, competent, and, not to mention, insanely popular. But only David Morales knows...only he knows that "Mr. Perfect" has a not-so-perfect background. Only he knows of how Anthony lost everyone he had ever loved in a fatal incident, leaving him an orphan who would be haunted with memories of the blood and gore he'd witnessed that dreadful day for the rest of his life. Only he knows of how Anthony really lost his right hand and acquired a prosthetic replacement that everyone marveled at. But his friendship with Anthony became a mere pigment of his past after the two had gone their separate ways. Now that Anthony randomly shows up at Campbell High School, becomes king of the entire student body, and joins the soccer team that David's father just so happens to coach, their paths collide once again. And, as the two struggled to rekindle the strongly, brotherly relationship that they'd once had, they find that their fellow teammates also have dark backgrounds they aren't so proud of. Together, they help each other work towards overcoming their personal obstacles, build trust amongst themselves, and bring glory to the lowly-acclaimed sports chapter at CHS.

David has a huge, life-ruining, crush on Alyssa Harvard (who is only about one billion times out of his league). As if that wasn't enough of a problem, her parents want her to date a "gentleman" (a trait which composes about 1% of David's DNA). Being assisted by a random guy he literally just met (like seriously, where did this Ricky guy come from?), and all the while being hindered by his ridiculous friends, family drama that refuses to stay buried, and the chaos that is life in general... the chances of David getting the girl seem slim to none. But the day that Ricky Santos fails at something, is the day that pigs sprout wings and fly, so whether the world likes it or not... David is GETTING that date. David's life is about to get a whole lot classier. (Prepare yourself for mayhem.)
