Joe Logan (Brandon Routh), a mixed-blood Native American, is eager to modernize his reservation -- but first he must prove himself to his father, the tribal chairman, by rediscovering his spirit. Joe becomes the coach of the reservation's high-school lacrosse team, which must compete against the better-equipped and better-trained players of the elite Prep School League. Joe teaches his players the meaning of tribal pride as they climb an uphill battle to the state championship finals.
