After transferring to boarding school Oakhurst Hall, Jack, a skilled pianist, joins the football team and finds himself facing an unknown world of hazing and performance-enhancing drugs. Jack treads the line between letting down his team and being honest with himself in a way that feels honest and tense without a false note of hope tacked on.
