Description
Glory never dies. Fifteen years after his glory days as quarterback for the Messina Spartans, Neely Crenshaw returns to his hometown to bury Coach Eddie Rake. As he sits in the bleachers with the team's veterans, they confront their own broken dreams and try to decide whether they love or hate the man who moulded them into an invincible football dynasty. The stakes are high for Neely, still struggling to come to terms with his past choices and ambitions. The team's reunion is a poignant reminder of the Coach's enduring legacy, but also of the personal demons that have haunted him for years. As the dimming field lights signal the end of an era, the men who knew Coach Rake must face the truth about their complicated feelings towards him.
