The rules are never black and white.

16-year-old Gary Black is an average football player, budding wordsmith and reluctant hero. Gry helps his local Australian Rules football team win the local championship by accident, but celebrations turn to violence when Gary's Aboriginal best friend, Dumby Red is denied the "Best and Fairest" medal because of the racism of local officials.
