16-year-old Brian Newall lives in Oklahoma and dreams of earning a spot on the high school Eagles, but so far he’s only been the water boy after tryouts. His struggle to make the team is softened by a close relationship with his sister, who records him injuring himself during practice and then streams the clip around their school on the TV.
