Part 4/10:
With an invitation to join the local mill team, Will eagerly embraces the chance to showcase his talent, believing this could lead to his dream of becoming a professional player. However, as he digs deeper into the mill culture, he becomes entangled in the darker side of athletic life: pressures of performance, heavy drinking, and the need to fit in. His journey is complicated further by a pivotal moment where an act of aggression from another player, Pike Spangler, leads to an injury that sparks a wave of self-reflection and conflict within Will.
