High-school football star Matt Barnes was on the top of the world until a freak snowboarding accident ended his promising sports career and left him with a permanent limp.
As he struggles to accept his changed body, Matt becomes depressed and isolated.
Instead of college football camp, he faces a summer job at the local golf club.
Then by chance Matt lands an internship at the Justice Project, an organization that defends the wrongly convicted.
The other intern is his high-school nemesis, Son.
