All sixteen year old Tony Hobb ever wanted was to play rugby. Now that his father is gone, Tony discovers that remaining a competitive athlete while trying to keep up his grades, working a part time job, and looking after his baby brother Charlie is more responsibility than one man - much less a struggling student - can handle. Later, when Tony is given the opportunity to try out for the State Schoolboy's rugby team, he finds his life beginning to change in ways that he could have never anticipated. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
