Plot
In the last game of the American Football Federation regular season between the Boston Rebels and the New York Dukes, Rebels quarterback Joe Kingman scores a touchdown after ignoring an open wide receiver, Travis Sanders. The next morning, an eight-year-old girl named Peyton Kelly arrives on Joe's doorstep saying that she is his biological daughter, and that his ex-wife, Sara, sent her there for a month while Sara does volunteer aid in Africa. His agent, Stella Peck, thinks this will be bad for his image and distracts him with the upcoming playoffs.
