In Glory Grove, winning comes at a cost.
Brock Gallagher is troubled as he returns to Glory Grove. His marriage has fallen apart. His mother is dying, and a multinational energy corporation is tempting area families with a promise of easy money for leases on their land to build a giant wind farm. It pits neighbors against one another, escalating to acts of violence.
Amid the turmoil, Brock rekindles a relationship with Ronnie Jepson, his beautiful high school sweetheart, while agreeing to help hapless coach Buster McHue turn the
Grizzlies'
basketball team around. Their efforts are threatened by the arrogant banker, Roland Donigan, who plots to sabotage the team as a way to steal Ronnie away from Brock.
Brock has always been a winner in sports. But his personal strength is also his defining weakness...an insatiable desire to win at everything he does. He now faces his biggest challenge: can he learn to win beyond the scoreboard?
