In a college football-crazed town, after the big game, three of the players are accused of a hate crime of beating a gay man to death. The task of defending them falls to the school’s former All-American football star turned lawyer. CHRIS CAMPBELL, the lauded letterman now with a briefcase, is aided by an expedient college administration and a loyal police department but he hides a guilty conscience and has never been involved in a murder trial. What’s more, the prosecuting attorney is ABALARDO VAS, the most prominent attorney in the state, who also happens to be a gay man with a grudge against the college football team.

Get to know the writer:

My screenplay is about a former All-American football player, now a disillusioned lawyer,
who returns to his alma mater to solve a vicious hate crime that implicates his former football team. He is caught in the crossroads of his loyalty to his team and to doing the right thing.
