In 1960, the people of Grunion Glade, Ohio are descendants of twin canal boat captains who left their boat to chase a lost football, found their brides, and founded a town in the shadow of a haunted bridge. Their legacy lives on in the high school team, The Captains, who have never failed to win the league championship. Bob Skinner Junior is a fatherless farm boy who dreams of gridiron glory and marrying the girl he loves. But Bob Junior is tasked with protecting his cousin, William, a misfit dwarf with a hatred of football. William's anti-football rants constantly get Bob Junior into trouble. Things escalate when William discovers a secret-a truth buried deep in the town's past that destroys all Bob Junior's dreams and could shatter the founding myth and end the town's beloved football dynasty. Bob Junior is faced with an impossible choice: silence William to protect the town or help him reveal the truth and watch everything he loves fall apart. The bridge stands in the background watching, waiting.
