Jack Logan, son of a football legend in a sports-obsessed school, chooses his own path as captain of a C-level "slackers" soccer team. When a video of his team's flubs goes viral, the "lovable losers of Muscles High" must adjust to fame and adoration. Engaging characters and a fast-paced plot provide humorous commentary on sports culture, while the child/adult struggles add depth.
