The time is 1972 and the place is Springboro, a small town just north of Cincinnati. Kids walk to school and play pick-up games at the park. Varsity games are the highlight of the week, so popular that the town virtually shuts down so everyone can go watch. And the town's important people -- Charlie Reedy, Jimmy Beavers, Coach Harry Hall and Reverend Dawes, just to name a few -- go about their daily lives in a way that gives the town its unique character. Amid all of this, one die-hard Ohio State fan -- a husband, father, and assistant coach -- experiences a terrible tragedy that has him searching for what is important in life. In the end, he finds "The Heart of the Panthers."
