Synopsis
Conor Sullivan is not excited about moving to an unknown town and being the new kid at high school. However, the handsome lacrosse star not only has his eye on making the team, he just hooked up with the coach’s pretty daughter, Brooklyn...and things might not be so bad after all. But when his Marine father is redeployed to Iraq where he dies in combat, a shocked Conor becomes even more resentful and hot-tempered. His self-destructive behavior continues to worsen until a violent on-field clash with a long-time nemesis and a vandalism incident lands him in a jail cell and finally gets him kicked off the team. Out of patience and with few options, Conor's worried mother unceremoniously dispatches him to a wilderness camp run by his dad's no-nonsense Native American service buddy, where hard work - on and off the lacrosse field - are the program's centerpiece. Through a true understanding of lacrosse and the game’s tribal roots, Conor finally grasps the real meaning of sportsmanship, love and life.
