There are no small towns.
 
There is something magical about the wealthy parts of Orange County, California, but lately, there is trouble in paradise. The kids at Northwood High are no stranger to theatrics. Yet each game night from August to Christmas, when the Knights play football, dreams do come true. Sergeant White doesn't miss much about Texas.

It's only football and losing is just part of growing up. But when all hope is lost, what will we have left to fight for? What makes us strangers and what keeps us apart? Will our heroes find a way to forgive the evils that took everything from them? Is it really just a game?
