The Sheldon Kennedy Story

A young hockey phenom from Alberta, Canada, uses his sport as an escape from his difficult farm upbringing, but his dream of playing professionally at 14 soon spirals out of control into a reckless party lifestyle.

A talented young hockey player, Sheldon Kennedy, escapes his troubled home life by joining a professional ice-hockey team at 14. However, his newfound success is overshadowed by a dark secret: he was repeatedly sexually abused by his coach, Graham James, who manipulated Sheldon's career moves to maintain the abuse. As Sheldon's life begins to unravel, he must confront the trauma and fear of being ostracized if he reveals the truth.
