Plot

In the heart of Coldwater, Ohio, we meet Scott Murphy, a once revered high school football hero whose dreams of a professional career were dashed by an injury during the climactic Ohio State High School Championship game. Instead of a star-studded career and life with the head cheerleader, Scott finds himself twenty years later with a splinted leg, living a quiet life as a farmer, married to a former band member, Macey, and father to their two daughters. The echoes of his past glory are drowned out by the struggles of his present. His dreams are now of keeping his farm afloat amid failed crops, looming bank obligations and a series of relentless misfortunes. The return of his successful NFL friend Hall, who is now married to Scott's high school sweetheart, and an upcoming game where Scott is to be honored, only intensify his feelings of regret and despair. When an early frost and a malfunctioning soybean header leave him at the edge of ruin, Scott contemplates a desperate act, believing the payout from his life insurance would secure his family's future. However, as he succumbs to the fumes of his truck, he awakens not in the afterlife, but in 1991, on the eve of the game that would alter his destiny. Caught in a surreal twist of time, Scott is offered a second chance, an opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to alter the course of his history. Will he seize this unexpected chance to rewrite his past and, in turn, his future? "Touchback" is a captivating journey that explores the trials of life, the weight of choices, and the power of redemption.
