Compared to the big city, life is a little slower and calmer behind the East Texas Pine Curtain in the fictional community of Lone Star, located several miles south of New Summerfield, Texas. That is except when it comes to Texas High School Football and teenagers in love during the early 1970's. Only the strongest, fastest and quickest survive on the grid iron. Only the most loyal survive true love in rural East Texas. Jason and Sara Jane are the two characters that bring it all together in the 1973-74 school year.
