ONE HEART is an inspirational sports drama based the powerful true story surrounding a high school football game between Grapevine Faith High and the Gainesville State School, a maximum-security juvenile facility, that impacted players and coaches on both sides of the ball.

ONE HEART follows Shawn “Shade” Bivins, a good kid from the wrong side of the tracks…

…and Grapevine Faith coach Kris Hogan, who is estranged from his brother and chasing perfection.

As both fight their individual demons, they meet on the football field on a night that changes them and everyone else involved.

Two teams. Two cultures. ONE HEART

In the tradition of The Blind Side and Remember the Titans, ONE HEART transcends sport, presenting human drama that moves and inspires, and demonstrates the power of unconditional compassion.
