Who would consider a man who works his way to the top of professional sports a failure? Louis and Theresa Lacroix have dedicated their lives to raising someone else's lost child. When their eighteen-year-old son, Gunning, faces the greatest challenge of his life and falls short, have they failed him, or was his future predestined the day he was born? Gunning Lacroix becomes a successful professional athlete and believes he is one step away from immortality. But when he is sent to do his team-sponsored community service at a drug and alcohol rehab and meets Charlie Kelley and her clients, his beliefs are turned inside out. He's about to realize that it's not the opponent he meets on the football field he has to win over, but the man within.
