Deeply disappointed and now highly unpopular among his fellow football players at school, protagonist Dude McPherson sets out on a desperate quest to make football safe enough to play again. Relegated to an after-school program in his school's state-of-the-art Tech Lab, Dude would much rather be back on the football field, until his new team of teen techie geniuses suggest a highly innovative solution to his problem, a solution that not only transforms Dude, but the world of sports as well.
