The series follows the team, as well as parents and local officials, as they navigate life after the tragic police killing of Floyd, a milestone event in American history that set off a national movement for social justice and police reform.
The officers are deeply committed to giving the players the best chance to succeed on the field and work to repair the open wounds that exist between the community and law enforcement from the death of Floyd in Minneapolis in 2020.
