Allison is a high school senior who plays center-mid for the defending state champion Womack Warriors. As her team’s co-captain, she’s in the middle of everything, all the action on the field and all the drama off it. When the unity of the team is threatened by both a racial incident and a sexting scandal, Allison must navigate her mother’s alcoholism, falling behind in her schoolwork, and her strained relationship with the team’s other captain and her best friend Mallory as the Warriors fight to get back to the championship game and win another title.
