When Miles Manning, a successful high school football player, discovers his teammates are using steroids - and one of them is his best friend - he's faced with a tough decision: Is he willing to do what it takes to win? Football is his life, and his family, especially his dad, is pinning its hopes on him. It's a lot of pressure for a high school junior to bear. This gripping look into the world of high school boys and athletes - and their struggle to be the best - is provocative and searingly honest.
