Friday Night Lights

A Texas high school football team holds the hopes of the town, as the players prepare for the season opener.

The second-string quarterback finds himself in the spotlight in the wake of Jason Street's serious injury; as game day approaches, the team appears united, pledging to win the game for a teammate.

The town turns on coach Taylor following a difficult loss; emotion and frustration culminate in a fight, as the team's injured quarterback begins rehabilitation.

Coach Taylor must find a way to bring the team together against its biggest rival; Jason Street's new roommate at the rehab centre makes him realise his potential for recovery.

Fearing job insecurity, coach Taylor must choose between starting an eager second-string quarterback or new recruit Ray Tatum; Tim and Lyla's relationship heats up.

The possibility of last week's win being overturned due to Ray Tatum's recruitment frustrates the Panthers; police interrupt a practice with an arrest warrant for a star defensive tackle who viciously assaulted another student.
