Rich Porter had it all: talent, good looks and a bright future playing quarterback for an American football team...then tragedy struck. His mother goes missing while volunteering in a remote area of the Philippines, and Rich's attempts to find her are in vain. Giving in to despair, he receives more bad news when he is diagnosed with a brain tumor. Then, at the hospital, a young boy with the same condition and a compassionate nurse do their best to bring hope back to the ailing Rich. They show him that the game of his life is a struggle for every yard, but - with the help of faith and friends - it can be won.
