In 1987, high school football coach Jim White loses his temper and accidentally injures a player in the locker room.

White is first put as assistant football coach but ultimately loses his coaching status after pulling an injured player, Johnny Sameniego, out of a game, causing the crass head coach Jenks to ask White to step down.

All seven have little hope for their future, specifically Valles, who has hardships with his father and nearly jumps off a bridge before White stops him.
