So Jack and a ragtag group of anti-athletic friends decide to get even. They are going to start a rebel JV soccer team whose mission is to avoid victory at any cost, setting out to secretly undermine the jock culture of the school. But as the teams losing formula becomes increasingly successful at attracting fans and attention, Jack and his teammates are winning in ways they never expected-and dont know how to handle.
