Football is Willy Keeler's ticket out of West Texas, but only if he can keep his intellect, hormones, and adolescent rage from destroying his high school career. Between his girlfriend Hanna, who won't quite have sex with him; her father, the high school principal; his lonely mother; and Coach Bud, who may need Willy more than Willy needs him, Willy has his work cut out for him.
