Clean Break

By Steph West

In this coming-of-age football drama set in the Appalachian region of Ohio, Marcus Knight is an exceptional player who intends to use his talent to get him to college. But when tragedy strikes, Marcus must choose his fate: stay stuck in the past or move forward in medicine.

Clean Break is inspired by a series of stories Steph West has written during her journalism career.

West spent several seasons covering men's and women's athletic teams across high school, college, and pro sports (Fox Sports Ohio). Medicine has been a prominent career choice in her family and she's heard many life-saving stories at the dinner table. She believes there's nothing better than Friday night lights and football Saturdays with family and friends.
