Twelve-year-old Lawrence has faced more challenges than most, from moving to a new town to getting expelled from school after a fight he didn’t start. When he discovers a local chess program, he finds unexpected friendship and a chance to prove himself in a big tournament that could change everything. Through family struggles and self-discovery, Lawrence learns that winning isn’t always about the game.
