Spencer James is a rising high school football player and an A student at South Crenshaw High who is recruited by Beverly High School's football coach Billy Baker. Spencer is conflicted on whether or not to move to Beverly High but Spencer's mother, Grace, and his best friend, Coop, convince Spencer it's an opportunity he has to seize. When Spencer is forced to move in with Billy and his family, these two families and their vastly different worlds are drawn together.
