The underdog story of a 14-year-old boy who is equal parts puny and shy in a little town deep in Virginia's mountains. It's decided that only one thing can bring A.C. Jackson out of the limits he's put on himself: playing second-string quarterback on the school's junior varsity team. Set in 1965, it's a G-rated tale of an unlikely player's first season at Abingdon High, both on and off the field.
