Disgraced pro football quarterback Paul Crewe lands in jail, where manipulative Warden Hazen recruits him to advise the institution’s team.

Aided by incarcerated ex-NFL coach Nate Scarborough, Crewe and his team must overcome not only the bloodthirstiness of the opposition, but also the corrupt officials trying to fix the game against them.
