Travis
Freeman, a local football star, is an average high school junior.
Living in the town of Corbin, Kentucky, his inner circle includes his
supporting parents, girlfriend, and childhood best friend, Jerry Baker.
Life is normal for Travis until one day he is stricken with a
series
of severe headaches and a bacterial meningitis infection. After being
rushed to the hospital, Travis undergoes surgery to remove the
infection and save his life. He comes out of the procedure alive, but
he is now blind.
After losing his sight, Travis experiences depression as he adjusts to
life without sight. When forced to abandon football, Travis’ shallow,
cheerleader girlfriend quits on him, and he faces the decision of
having to attend the school for the blind away from home.
With the help of his parents, best friend, Jerry, another childhood
friend, Ashley, and his mobility coach, Travis pulls through and is
able to adapt to his new disability and starts his senior year at
Corbin High School. Every day after school, Travis attends football
practice, but watches, with help from his friend, Ashley, from the
sidelines. His coach and mentor, Coach Farris, approaches him one day
about joining the team again.
