Synopsis
America Brown was born and raised in a West Texas town where football is treated more like a religion than a game. Raised by a single mother¿ America's primary male role model has been his older brother Daniel¿ who has drilled it into Ricky's head that it's his destiny to be a football star. But America has come to hate football¿ and especially loathes Bo¿ the manipulative coach of his high-school team. Desperate to get away from it all¿ America runs away to New York City¿ where he seeks refuge with John Cross¿ a one-time football legend from West Texas who gave up the game to become a Catholic priest. As America looks to find a new life¿ he finds in Cross a man who is still haunted by his past and smitten with a woman in his congregation¿ Rosie. America¿ meanwhile¿ develops an infatuation of his own with Vera¿ a pretty but streetwise girl who waits tables at a neighborhood diner.
