Eighth grade is wrapping up, and Trey is excited to start summer session football with all of his friends, getting in shape for their first high school season. Too soon, though, a wrench is thrown into the plans as Trey's father, Segundo, receives a promotion to be in charge of a grain elevator in Johnson City, over four hours from where they live in Wichita, Kansas. Johnson City is nothing like Wichita in many ways, but they have a football team, so there's that. Trey even makes a new friend, Quinn, who is not only a teammate but a co-worker, since Quinn and his father hire Trey to work on their farm over the summer. Everything is going as well as it can... until it doesn't. Find what dust gets kicked up between the boys and their dads, even more than that which gets kicked up in and on the fields.
