graham Wilson Is A Thirty-something Recreational Hockey Player Who Decides To Follow A Long-held Desire To Become A Goaltender. His Transition Is Both Comedic And Inspiring As He Seeks To Challenge Himself In The Midst Of A Mundane Life. Also On Display Is The Curious Paradox Of The Recreational Game In American Culture (i.e., It Means Everything, But It Is Only A Game, But It Is More Than A Game, But...). When His Team's Regular Goalie Leaves, Graham Steps Unsteadily Into The Crease, Causing Conflict On A Team That Is Used To Winning.
Graham's Journey Is A Microcosm Of Life. Humor, Inspiration, Camaraderie, Love And Spite All Make Their Appearances Both On And Off The Ice As Graham Struggles To Learn What Truly Is All That Counts.
