For nearly a decade Jonathan Reese has one driving ambition — become a partner at the city’s most prestigious law firm. He’s surrendered nights, weekends, and his own peace of mind to chase that aspiration. But in pursuing that dream so hard, he was unwittingly sacrificing a relationship with his own son.
Then fate intervenes.
Voters reject a tax levy, forcing the school board to gut sports funding. And suddenly the defending state champions have no coach.
Something deep inside Jonathan pulls at him. Against every rational career instinct, he steps forward — to save a season and give the team a chance. But now he’s forced into a precarious balancing act — keeping his high-stakes professional aspirations alive while trying to lead a group of teenagers back to a state title.
And that journey will force him to take on …
- The relentless demands of a Fortune 500 client
- A conniving colleague determined to ruin him
- Former players out to sabotage the season
- A radically, unconventional offense that relies on a deaf quarterback
- The grief of losing his closest friend and mentor
- And the humiliation of being criminally detained— and still needing to find a way to make it to the big game on time.
But most of all — it will force Jonathan to face the thing he’s been challenged by for years — making space in his life for his own son.
