Bookroo's summary
Mick Johnson, driven by dreams of football glory, faces a daunting choice: stay natural or use steroids to gain an edge. As he battles for a varsity spot, the pressure mounts. Will Mick sacrifice his health and relationships for fleeting success, or find a different path under the relentless stadium lights? The stakes are high, and every decision could lead to triumph or disaster. In a world where one wrong move can shatter dreams, Mick must navigate the dark side of ambition and the true cost of winning.
