Inspired by actual events, this story is set—in a small town on the Gulf Coast of South Alabama, where football runs deep, and tradition colors everything in Purple and Gold.

When the world tells him he won’t make it, Alvin finds strength in unexpected places: a dedicated coach, a handful of teachers who never gave up on him, and a younger brother who still sees him as a hero.
