Plot summary

One fated day, after a heated argument with his longtime agent, Jaycen ends up in an accident after his car gets struck by a moving bus. Fortunately, he deals with minor injuries, but on the other hand, he gets charged with property damage.
During the hearing, he gets sentenced to community service in his hometown, Long Beach, by Judge Williams. Jaycen reunites with his old pal, Kareem, and also lands the opportunity to coach a local kids' football team. For starters, all Jaycen wanted to help the kids was just for his selfish reasons to get over with his community service so that he could return to his usual life.
Jaycen uses the team to relaunch his dying career. However, gradually, he gets to understand the kids are also going through hardships and obstacles that he faced prior to becoming an acclaimed NFL star. As the story unfolds, Jaycen learns from his mistakes and even declines a major career opportunity just to do what’s right.
