Jason "Jase" Newfield (Andrew Lawrence) is the new student at his school, and he is also blind. Thinking that his talent on the drums is his ticket to fit in, he shows off in music class, only to find out that his teacher is also blind. His peers begin to treat him differently, and he soon finds out that it is because people think that he is a snob, and not because he is blind. Desperate to fit in, he finds out that if he wants to be accepted, he must join a sport. He decides to try his luck with wrestling.
