Nineteen battles his way into the pros, becomes the quarterback, becomes the myth. Marries the owner’s daughter, touches greatness few will ever dream of, retires into what he assumes will be the promised afterlife of days on the golf course and celebrity endorsements. But markets tank, family disintegrates, fame fades, and the holes in his mind from a career of punishment on the field become too large and frightening to ignore. When he hears of a miracle brain damage treatment forbidden in the U.S., he travels to Honduras in search of a chance to restore himself to the man he was.
