Mitch and his football teammates enjoy humiliating and bullying Simon any time they can. Toby is a Christian and tries to reach Simon and the other students at school with the message of a saving and personal relationship with Jesus Christ, but Simon can’t believe that anyone could ever love him, and chooses not to accept God's offer of salvation through His Son Jesus Christ.
