**.shadow — the User behind the program —** Jon Voight · the tyrant coach — the legend that excuses the abuse

**who —** Coach Bud Kilmer — thirty years, two state titles, twenty-two district championships, and a body count of young knees.
**what —** The villain and the town's god: the man who puts the banner over the boy and gets away with it because he wins.
**where —** On the sideline, in the locker room, with a needle in his hand.
**why —** Because every sports movie needs the dark father — the adult who values the scoreboard over the child.
**how —** By shooting up injuries, hiding concussions, and trading on a legend the town is too grateful to question.

**the seal —** Twenty-two districts buys a lot of silence. The W is the only truth — until the boys decide it isn't.
