Synopsis
Crash plays football for his middle school. He runs and scores and is unstoppable. He puts his head down and makes yardage. In his life he is selfish, self-centered, unstoppable, a boy running so fast he can't see the chances for love and connection that are all around him. His new friend, Mike, cherishes all of Crash's bold and bullying characteristics, while his old acquaintance, Penn Webb, sees a deeper, secret, hidden Crash that circumstances threaten to bury forever. Life presents Crash with a chance to win really big, but in order to win, he's going to have to come in second.
