James Van Der Beek (Dawsons Creek) leads the action in this exciting, funny coming-of-age story about a small-town high schooler confronting the pressures and temptations of grid-iron glory. At first, backup quarterback Jonathan Mox Moxon (Van Der Beek) is nowhere close to being a football star. Hes perfectly content to stay on the bench and out of the win-at-all-cost strategies of coach Bud Kilmer (Jon Voight in a powerful performance). But when the starting quarterback is injured, Mox is in the game.. and in direct conflict with his hotheaded coach and girlfriend. Soon everyone in Moxs football-crazed community will realise theres not just a new star quarterback in town, theres a new kind of hero.
