Season One starts to highlight the educational system, the housing system, the health system, and the welfare system as we follow eleven-character lines as we navigate through firsthand personal recounts of the lives of the students, parents, politicians, and teachers from the 1950s to early 2000s. The audience will get to see why the people within the system act a certain way, the audience will hear why some of the adult people within the system think a certain way, they will learn where their mentalities derive from and see firsthand how each system work and how it affects the people of the Glenville community. In the second half of the season, we will see Coach Ginn start to form his own ideas of the system and how it should be running. He starts to teach his players about the system of “how to survive in life” as we start to see hope forming and building in our characters as Coach Ginn starts to roll out a new system based on family, faith, "love, passion, and understanding” ... Can you Imagine trying to beat a system that was made for you to fail?
