Plot summary
The wrestling team at J.O. Johnson High School in Huntsville, Alabama, is coached by the teacher Chris Scribner and is chasing a place at the State Championships. J.O. Johnson has been on the state's list of failing schools for years. Four teammates matter most to the season: Jailen, Jamario, Jaquan and Teague. Outside the gym each of them faces trouble of his own. Their families are divided. Drugs and a pregnancy among the teenagers add to the strain. Mental health troubles weigh on some of them. Encounters with the police, which they read as profiling by race, put them at risk. Scribner has his own past conflicts to work through, and the season also raises race and class in the South for him.
