Scott Kramer faces expulsion from the football team after being framed for drug possession. With his brother's past haunting him, Scott must unravel the mystery of who set him up. As he digs deeper, he risks everything to protect his reputation and family. Can he uncover the truth before it's too late?

When Scott Kramer is replaced in the football team for possession of marijuana, he knows he’s innocent. But his brother was arrested for the same crime a few years earlier. The case against him is strong. Scott has to find the answer to one question - who would want to see his name tarnished?
