Football is a true love for everyone in the small town of Jordan, Texas, especially for Brandon Taylor and his best friend Danel Brown. Brandon (quarterback) and Danel (wide receiver) have grown up together and rival each other as to whom is the best football player since their years in Pee Wee football through high school. Both knowing if they are awarded a scholarship they can get out of their small town and see the world away from the cow pastures and the oil fields. Smooth sailing through high school as their team goes to the state championship; they are on the road to glory. They both receive scholarships from South Texas University.
On a trip home from college to see their brothers play in their Homecoming game, Brandon and Danel jump into Brandon’s pickup and head for Jordan. About 10 minutes down the road, things go dark for Brandon in more ways than one. The boys are involved with a car wreck. When Brandon wakes up in the hospital’s critical care unit, he is informed that he has suffered critical injuries, and one that he may never fully recover – the complete loss of his vision. But he also had a greater loss, and that is the death of his lifelong friend, Danel.
Upon Brandon’s return to college, he is welcomed with outward sympathy, but behind his smiles is shallow contentment. Trying desperately not to fail his dreams and those of his dead friend, he finally dedicates himself to overcome the tragedy. Yet it seems his guilt anchors him to failure. With the help of friends Brandon finds closure and a mended heart. There is an incredible inspirational story here as he returns to the game he loves, and the dedication to honor his friend by not hoping for a miracle but believing in the possible.
