It's 1999, the beginning of senior year, and 17-year-old Miles (Tim Boardman, "Unbreakable Kimmy. Schmidt") cannot wait to start film school in Chicago. But when his f. r suddenly dies of a heart attack, Miles discovers that the patriarch has squandered the family's entire savings on his mistress, leaving the teen and his mother Pam (Molly Shannon, "Saturday Night Live") without a dime. Desperate to leave his small-town life, Miles happens upon a volleyball scholarship for Loyola College. The trouble is, his high school doesn't have a boys' volleyball team but it does have a girls' team. Citing the legality of Title IX - which prohibits federal exclusion based on gender - he becomes the latest member of the Pondley Warriors, but it's not long before parents and coaches alike rise up in protest of his participation, putting his college dreams in jeopardy.
