Can a broken town survive a second tragedy?

By the time the last goal is scored, someone in Beartown will be dead . . .

Us Against You is the story of two towns, two teams and what it means to believe in something bigger than yourself. Its about how people come together - sometimes in anger, often in sorrow, but also through love.

And how, when we stand together, we can bring a town back to life.
