Where life is more than a game. Brock Gallagher hands in his resignation and loses his chance to win a state championship as head football coach at one of Seattle's largest high schools to fulfill a promise to his mother back in his tiny hometown of Glory Grove. He plans on staying only long enough to be with his mom during her final days. When he arrives in the Grove, he is met with bitterness and violence from Cort Jepson, a former teammate, now married to Brock's high school sweetheart. Excited about his arrival are local citizens of the town who dream of a return to better times, including the days of football supremacy. Although determined to stay away from the game and any involvement with the people in Glory Grove, Brock finds himself drawn into the local scene when the current football coach is forced to leave town. Standing in Brock's way is a high school principal determined to kill the sport. While focused on football, Brock risks losing his beautiful big-city wife, who has drifted away from him into a world of high art, celebrities, and drugs. Brock feels the tug of conflicting loyalties. Will he recommit to his marriage and return to the city or stay in the Grove and a place to call home?
