The small town of Pintoon is abuzz: for the first time ever their footy team is in the grand final. The town's hopes rest on their goal kicking sensations, best mates Hoges, Tractor and Gary Rabbit, known collectively as The Forwards.

Everyone is hyped for the big game when a vicious rumour spreads through the town hurling the three bys into conflict. Violence explodes both on and off the field, fueled by anger jealousy and alcohol.
