Life’s a pitch for teen football star, Adrian “Colombian Cannon” Molina. With his powerful shot, he seems a shoe-in for the European junior league.

When a Regents United elite prep school scout offers him a full scholarship, the news seems too good to be true. Adrian’s celebration is short lived thanks to his meeting with team star, Titan Evans. Titan is everything Adrian is not; rich, powerful, and connected. Despite that, Titan sees the Colombian Cannon as a threat to his domination on the pitch. Hallway brawls, threatening notes, and constant bullying from Titan and his cronies consume Adrian’s new life along with crippling anxiety attacks thanks to the fear of losing his spot on the team.
