In 1956, JB Peña and his wife moved to the small town of Del Rio, TX,
partly for a job as a school superintendent, but mostly to fulfill JB's
dream of joining the prestigious, all-white Del Rio Country Club. So
when JB is rejected on the basis of his skin color, he is devastated.
But his world soon collides with a group of young Latino golf caddies
who work at the country club, and JB is inspired by the handmade course
the boys built in the country to teach themselves golf. With little
experience and even fewer resources, JB convinces the boys to start
their own high school golf team, starting them all on a journey where
they learn that it takes more than just golf skills to make history.
