**.shadow — the User behind the program —** James Van Der Beek · the reluctant hero — the smart kid who refuses the town's dream

**who —** Jonathan 'Mox' Moxon — the backup QB who reads Vonnegut on the bench and wants Brown University, not a banner.
**what —** The film's conscience: a smart kid who can run Kilmer's offense and refuse Kilmer's life at the same time.
**where —** On the bench, then under center; finally face-to-face with his father.
**why —** Because the movie needs someone who can see the worship from inside it and still say no.
**how —** By winning games he never wanted to play, calling his own plays, and refusing the life being handed to him.

**the seal —** I can run your offense and read my book at the same time — and I still don't want your life.
