There's not much to say about a town like Ruby. It's that classic small town that every story is based in. If Dillon from Friday Night Lights was a real town, it'd be Ruby. Only one thing matters in these towns, and that's football. You're either a football player or a cheerleader, whether you get to wear the cute skirt or not. Kids go to school and adults go to work Monday through Friday. Adults get off work early on Fridays and close up shop in order to get to the field on time. If you're not at the game on Friday night, you're a heretic. If you're not on the team, you don't really even matter.
But this story... It's about the Renegades, but it's not. It's really not. Just in a story in a town like Ruby where nothing but football matters, the story is always going to involve football.
But this isn't a football story. This isn't going to be the story of how the Renegades fight their way to the state championship just to lose in the last seconds. This isn't going to be the story of how the Renegades rebuild after some tragedy. This isn't going to be the story of how the Renegades collapse.
It's just a story about three Renegades and the only other thing that matters in Ruby, Texas- love.

What he finds instead is a world that refuses to let him wallow. There's Andy, the effortlessly charismatic athlete who won't take no for an answer. Dayna Prescott, the mysterious "Westwood royalty" who seems to have her own agenda.

Ethan doesn't want a fresh start. He wants his old life back. But as boxes get unpacked and unfamiliar hallways become navigable, he begins to realize that maybe-just maybe-being forced to rebuild isn't the end of his story. It might be the beginning of something he never knew he needed. This is a story about the messy reality of starting over. About the guilt of moving forward when part of you wants to stay stuck. About discovering that sometimes the worst thing that can happen to you opens the door to the best thing you never saw coming. Not every ending is an ending.
