In Great Mountain, Mississippi, all eyes are on Henson Blayze, a thirteen-year-old football phenom whose talents seem almost superhuman. The white townsfolk are overjoyed to finally possess an elite Black athlete. Until a horrifying incident forces Henson to speak out about injustice. Until he says that he might not play football anymore. Until he learns he isn't as loved by the people as he thought. In that moment, Henson's town is divided when all he wants is justice. When he is told to play ball again or else, Henson must decide whether he was born to entertain people who may not even see him as human, or if he's destined for a different kind of greatness.
