Plot
In a world of anthropomorphic animals, young goat Will Harris aspires to be like his idol, black panther Jett Fillmore, a roarball player for the Vineland Thorns. Ten years later, the Thorns have not won all season, with Jett asking team owner, warthog Florence "Flo" Everson, to do whatever she can to complete and make the team by finding a sixth player. Meanwhile, Will, now working at a diner and practicing roarball, is struggling to pay off his apartment rent. After earning money from selling his prized sneakers, Will faces off against Andalusian horse Mane Attraction, the lead player for the Lava Coast Magma, by betting the money. Though he has an early lead, Will loses and his apartment is repossessed, causing him to crash with his friend, capybara Daryl.
