Old Packers Stadium!
Curly Lambeau's ghost!
An upset of Rocky-like proportions!
The Scrub reveals the lives of three teens, each facing insurmountable challenges. Janus Mann is at odds with his football coach; his best friend Barnaby is being bullied by his physical therapist; and Asha's life is controlled by her alcoholic father. Yet the three friends remain determined to achieve success.
The story shines light on high school life, ripped open like a scab. Where on any given day you can reach soaring heights; or just as easily be beaten down into a dark pit of despair.
In spite of the set-backs, our trio of plucky friends persists. But when Janus' luck reaches rock bottom, he has only one place to turn--he seeks advice from the ghost of Green Bay Packers' legend Curly Lambeau, who becomes his mentor and surrogate father.
As dark forces mount a final attack, is it too late for the friends to alter their fate? Or will they accept Curly's lesson: that through loyalty, friendship and teamwork...you will always be stronger than going it alone?
