Plot
Chase (Dan Ewing) is an aspiring rugby league player for the NRL Team who experiences several life changing moments whilst in a relationship with girlfriend Brooke (Isabel Lucas). He decides to pursue his dream in remembrance of his dad. Along the way, Chase discovers that his teammates Munsey (John Batchelor), Rhys Stewart (Stan Walker), Tom (Beau Ryan), and Rev (George Houvardas) want him to achieve his goals as the pressures of the game's first league match is just weeks away. However, he struggles to keep up resulting in Brooke dumping him and the team dropping him off the team's charts. Chase begins to embrace Christianity and attend a local church, and publicly announces that he is now abstaining from sex. He also begins a relationship with the pastor's daughter, who he does not have sex with until they marry. [2]
