Every playground has a hero. Christopher just never expected it to be him.

Christopher is the kid everyone loves, bright, funny, and always the first to help but from his wheelchair, recess feels like a reminder of everything he can't do. While his friends sprint across the field, he wonders if a boy like him will ever get his turn to shine.

Then one night, a glowing version of himself appears in a dream and says the words that changed everything: Believe you can... and you will. What follows is a journey of courage and heart that transforms an ordinary school day into something unforgettable.

With determination, daily practice, and his friends cheering loud, Christopher rolls onto the football field and asks the bravest question a kid can, Can I play too? A single pass... a shaky step... and suddenly, he becomes the hero of the biggest moment of the game.
