Neglected as a child by his
drug addict mother, T.J. was full of rage, but now as a senior in high school
he's pretty much overcome all that with the help of a good therapist and his
loving, ex-hippie adoptive parents. However, T.J. is sick of seeing
how football star Mike Barbour treats brain damaged Chris Coughlin for wearing
his dead brother's letter jacket, so he comes up with a plan. Start
a team with all the outsiders and misfits, even if there's no regulation-sized
pool and none of them can swim. The team, and especially, the bus they
ride to meets becomes a place where these school outcasts can find true acceptance
and friendship they've never had before. |
