His dad wants Zeno to succeed, no matter what, so when a coach comes to recruit Zeno to an athletic boarding school, his dad immediately signs Zeno up. The school is intense, but Zeno quickly bonds with one of his coaches, Coach Lamb.

While trying to keep a low profile, Zeno stumbles across a mystery and starts to go out nightly to uncover the truth. With his energy down and the media circling, will Zeno be able to perform in the biggest game of the season?
