After Greg's professional football career ends, his agent gets him a job coaching college football, hoping it'll improve his tarnished image. Greg is less than thrilled with the opportunity, and even less impressed with his two kickers; a junior with a history of injuries and an untested freshman.

Single mom Isabella has always held tight to the control she had over her life. With her son going off to college, she knows she has to ease up on that and trust he'll make smart decisions, and that his coaches will watch out for him.

With the media highlighting every single one of Greg's failures, he's not sure he can handle the pressure of teaching two kids how to make something of themselves. But when he meets Isabella, he finally feels like the man he always thought he'd be. The one he doubted ever existed. Until Isabella made him want to come out and stay.
