- Tailor-made for sports fans (and people who swear they aren't) and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. The sport matters, but the people playing it matter more.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 21 min. Short enough for a weeknight.

A seventeen year old Russian Christian performs a daring escape to get away from the religious persecution of the Soviet Union. He comes to America and stays with a Christian family. While attending the local high school, and much to his surprise, he suffers a different kind of persecution because of his belief in God and the Bible.
