Runnin' With The King
Sometimes, violence is the answer. We go back to the summer of 1987. The game of rugby is raw, dangerous, and free. During this summer, a sevens rugby team from a small town in the middle of nowhere does something remarkable. They shock the country. Or at least, they shock a rabid sliver of the country. Tormented by The Beast and ruled by The King, Breeze and the boys transform from a tragically dysfunctional group of misfits into a well-oiled machine. The Beast. A giant of a man, and at one time an international rugby star. Now, far from his native land and desperate to stay relevant, he discovers his path back to rugby glory lies in a small Kentucky town. He stumbles upon a stunning pool of athletes led by a single talent that proves the gods have favorites. A man with no equal on the pitch. A man they call . . . The King. The Alpha dog, on the last of his legs and too many gin & tonics, has one final, unexpected shot to show the nation his grit and talent. Through the eyes of Breeze, a stoner with the gift of speed, we follow the squad of outcasts over a summer of mayhem few can comprehend. To succeed, they will have to overcome their worst enemy–themselves.
