Jim Berzchak has a brilliant mind for chess, yet nerves and fatigue stop his playing ambitions. Simply put, hes afraid to lose. However, from coaching his first team, the Escanaba Eskimos, he realizes there is security in numbers.

Everything goes great for awhile.

Mona Jones, the grandmother of one of the boys decides to take a more active role in the chess team. Her influence creates advantages for the boys. They become much stronger at the game than the girls. A rift develops the boys become bullies the team splits in two. Friends become bitter rivals someone must lose. Jims fatigue is worse than ever.
