For Dilly, it's a summer of firsts as he lands a job, a set of wheels and a date. Things couldn't be going better for the three friends until a brief encounter with the town recluse sets in motion a series of events that will not only define their summer—but who they are as well. Count on laughs and tears aplenty in this funny and touching sequel to The Football Hero.
