Video Summary
AI GeneratedTeagan, a new coxswain at Easton Prep, navigates the rigid social hierarchies and emotional tensions of the school's rowing team. While helping Cam Dillinger overcome his insecurities and financial struggles, the pair faces a moral crisis involving bribery and sabotage that tests their loyalty and forces a heartbreaking sacrifice to protect one another.
Hey.
Ever think biking's not your thing?
What? Where you're going?
You're not gonna ask if I'm okay?
You seem okay.
Aren't you going to apologize for just hitting me?
You're zooming down the sidewalk, okay? That's on you.
Your chain slipped. Do you know how to fix it?
Okay.
I heard Josh ream you out.
Or you reamed him out.
What are you...
Fixing your chain.
Not my smartest move.
Easton Prep is a hard crowd.
So do you live here?
Yes.
They'll do everything they can to make you feel like you're less.
No.
Don't back down.
What do you do for fun?
We have clam bakes, tubing, fudge.
Everyone's going to the dog party tonight.
I heard.
All right, come here.
See the drivetrain?
You gotta clean it or your chain's just gonna keep slipping.
Wait, you should go.
There's more to the cove than the Easton snobs.
I'll, uh, think about it.
This thing?
This one.
Um, I have an extra wristband.
Text me if you want it.
You didn't have to do that, but, uh, thanks.
Okay, we'll see you later.
I'm Teagan. I just moved here.
Kent. Dillinger.
Oh, look who showed up.
Here's your wristband.
Okay, look, I gotta go.
You weren't...
Uh, actually, I have to go take care of a few things.
Learn to fix your bike, okay?
Next time I won't be around.
You two go ahead.
Okay, it's me being total ---- out there.
I can't imagine you hate me any less than the others.
I don't hate you.
Come on, let's get a drink.
But you were ----.
Yeah, that was rough, and the guys do not pull any punches.
This is so shady.
Welcome to Eagle's Cove.
No one's gonna go easy on you.
You swim or you sink?
I have to, or I can't keep training.
When everyone knows your name.
Isn't there practice tomorrow morning?
It's a dog party.
Can you give me any insight into these guys?
Apparently to cox them, you need to understand them.
Get one in, and you can drink or answer a question.
Okay.
Josh Regis.
The boy who would be king.
His dad won four Haverford Cups as stroke seed.
Turns out I'm a beer pong shark.
Next.
Josh's cousin Ryder.
He's less of an heir, more of a spare.
I heard you row.
Any good?
I was a Southwest junior champ.
I had my eyes set on Stanford.
Baloo.
Real name Bronson.
He's the heart of the engine room and crumbles under pressure.
Why Stanford?
My dad rode for Stanford.
I always thought I'd get him a Stanford cowbell when I got in.
Why'd you move?
My dad passed away, and we needed a change.
And you?
Kim Dillinger.
I won't.
Why UW?
They're a D1 crew.
I'd be on Olympic track, and there's this engineering program.
You want to be an Olympian and an engineer?
Only a size for the next clean catch.
Yeah, pretty much.
I'd be the first in my family to go to college.
Thanks.
Though I can't stand up for myself, you know.
Oh.
I'm well aware.
Don't tell anyone.
Maybe I should have listened to Josh.
At least we would have been in sync.
You're not the first coxswain to find their stroke seed.
Is that you?
Uh...
You said your dad was dead.
Did he really steal all that money?
Let it go.
It should have been you.
I just wanted to say sorry for lying to you.
Well, I guess Coach felt otherwise.
Well, he's wrong.
I get it.
I also need to focus on crew.
Everything else is a distraction.
I don't think I've ever seen Coach that mad.
He can join the rest of the crew who's pissed at me.
You're going to Josh's party.
You're not even friends.
It's a team thing.
Uh, I don't know, Kim.
I don't think I'm right for this team.
And the team thing means getting roped into quaid's juvenile stunt and getting detention?
Yeah, I know.
It's immature.
A team that wants to fight me isn't going to follow me.
That's too bad.
He's like a little brother.
I'd be a dick if I didn't.
If you say so.
You've been in the last cox we had.
This is off Josh so much.
Have you never been on a team before?
Uh, yeah.
Swimming.
Tennis.
Track.
Those are solo sports.
I hope I see you at the race.
You're tough enough.
They should know it.
What's your point?
Somebody never learned to play well with others.
Hey.
Wow.
I'm a better team player than everyone else on the crew.
So we'll work on that.
Teagan, you okay?
Yeah.
Hey, did you see any of the others?
I didn't think you were coming.
Well, I'm on quaid duty.
This is the cargo net climb.
Yep.
That might be the longest streak yet.
Look at you, figuring out the team thing.
But the net is...
Yeah, oof.
Yeah, I know.
I heard it.
I can't take that back, can I?
It's out there.
The Regis has decided to screw over an old one and pull it up.
Yeah, I've been trying to reach it.
Come on.
Maybe you went this way.
Well, I could reach it if I got on your shoulders.
Hop on.
Hey, did you have to leave me hanging?
Look, I wasn't going to manhandle quaid.
I was doing it for the team, you know.
You don't know what that actually means to be on a crew.
Okay, well, explain it.
You okay?
I'm good.
It's like a brotherhood.
We don't have to like each other, but we look out for one another.
But they don't look out for you.
It's complicated.
If anyone picked a fight with me, they'd have my back.
And I'd have theirs.
If you don't have their backs, they're never going to listen.
Boy bonding is so strange.
I say we forget about them and start our own team.
We did it.
Hey, I would be great in a pair.
I can compromise.
I can get in sync.
Let's get those Regises.
All right.
But I get to lead.
There it is.
If it isn't the quaid whisperer.
You think it's about the friendship, but it was really about the laxatives we planted along the way.
I've been added to the group chat.
Congratulations, Coxie.
There's something I want to talk to you about.
I do.
What's up?
Is that her?
Who?
The girl you've been crushing on.
What are you doing after the regatta next week?
Other than practice napping.
That face says you're crushing.
Must coaching bring you everywhere?
Daughter privileges.
Hey, Teagan.
Here's the charger.
Thanks for letting me borrow it.
No problem.
You need help tightening up or anything?
What are you doing after the party?
I don't think anything.
I don't think the guy's doing anything, so probably just head home.
Josh, I think I saw your girlfriend outside.
Wow, air ball.
What?
She wanted to ask you out.
I'll catch you later?
Yeah.
Cool.
What are you even waiting for?
I see the way you look at her.
If you don't take the risk, someone else will.
Hey, where were we?
Dude, what's up with Josh?
He's getting friendly.
It's a fun party.
He's just being nice and, you know, he's really not that bad.
I think the team's starting to like you more than they like me.
That was always the danger.
Are we talking about the same guy?
You could give him a chance.
Can I talk to you about something?
Sure.
Teagan, your song's up.
You guys are acting different.
Is there something going on with you two?
Yeah, I think you're more interested in Josh than me.
You should ask her out.
I did.
Morning.
Hey.
Where are you headed?
Nowhere special.
I'm just meeting with my mom.
Really?
Did she say yes?
She said, I think you're more interested in Josh than me.
I just want to apologize about the Josh thing.
I don't want to talk about Josh, okay?
Enough about him.
Going out on a limb here, you did it wrong.
Tell me something I don't know.
I was wondering if you wanted to hang out with me sometime.
Yes, I do.
I was just about to ask her out, and then Josh interrupted, and he was being his usual Josh self.
Stop.
There's this new Mexican food truck in town.
Tacos are my love language.
There's already way too much Josh in this story.
What happened next?
There was a vibe.
Can we talk about this later?
Sure.
So I asked if there's something going on between the two of them.
Oh my God.
Maybe that was very wrong.
You think?
I'm sorry, that didn't work out?
She said yes.
She did?
Yeah.
Well, I really read that wrong.
You need to apologize to her, like, now.
About the Josh thing?
No, do not mention Josh.
I hope this comes out right.
I wasn't sure about earlier.
I'd like to take you out.
Solid B+.
B+.
I don't know why this is so hard.
Yes.
Tacos.
Okay.
It's a great grade.
Way above average for East Coast Mexican food.
Wow.
Tegan, I'm offended.
I'm from LA.
I have loyalties.
Okay.
Ready to go?
Yeah.
Are you guys still good to give me a lift?
You okay?
Yeah, I just hit a blister from my last erg session.
Just kidding.
He's not kidding.
Okay, go.
Bye.
Oh, yeah, that's a few.
I probably did one yesterday right here.
Oh.
I know you're supposed to leave them alone because of an infection, but I can't work with it.
I keep meaning to deal with mine, but I can't.
You know, my left hand.
I can take care of it for you if you want.
Really?
Yeah, if it doesn't bother me, if it doesn't bother you.
Come on.
I got a first aid kit inside.
Not quite how I expected this date to go down, but...
Yeah.
Ready?
So, you and Cam.
Looks official.
So attractive.
That's the life of a rower.
You can say something nice.
Shut them up.
Okay.
My mom always asks me why I'm obsessed with crew, but I never know how to explain it.
You look great.
Both of you.
It's not an obsession.
It's just who I am.
Same.
That's where I feel the most like me.
When I watch the Olympics, I keep thinking, I can do that.
How badly do you want a burger right now?
You know, that's where I'm supposed to be.
Even if I'm just some guy from Eagle's Cove.
Cam, don't you?
Are you having fun?
You caught me.
I just need people to believe in me.
They do.
Not really.
I know a way you can really get the team behind you.
Yeah?
What's that?
Show us your moves.
No one sees me in stroke.
If I can't win the moment, I don't stand a chance.
Not happening.
The whole team's out there.
Come on.
How do you do it?
You got them to listen.
I mean, you even got a yes, ma'am.
It's fun.
All right.
You want a yes, ma'am?
Yeah, who doesn't want a yes, ma'am?
But seriously, what am I doing wrong?
They don't follow you because they don't know who you really are.
Yeah, I'm not following that.
Do you want to be stroke or not?
Come on.
You always have your guard up.
You're kind of mystery.
Go!
You need to let them in.
Hang out with them, you know?
Dance.
Okay.
Look at me.
Maybe we should go to fall formal with them.
This is a promposal.
I don't know where I'm going to find a suit.
Well, we do know a guy.
Did you know he could do that?
No.
Mistakes made.
I'm out.
Hey, hang on.
Look.
Hey.
You okay?
Yeah.
It's fine.
What happened with you and Tegan?
I didn't see you guys at the end of the dance.
We could hit the dance floor.
Did it go well?
No.
It's not happening.
Or we can just sit.
Yeah.
It's not going to work.
It's fine.
Cam, it's not a big deal.
Not to you.
Coach asked for this little cooker I left on the counter.
Okay.
Thanks.
Yeah.
Look, you said I need to show them who I am so they'll want to follow me.
Yeah.
Anything else you want to talk about?
No.
No?
What am I supposed to show them?
Hey, that I can't afford a new uniform?
It's one whole word.
It's still more communicative than your taxes.
And their after party pays for my education.
Okay, is there anything in that that someone wants to follow?
I know you had a hard time at the dance and I am trying to give you your space, but you know, you could talk to me.
They don't want to see that, Tegan.
No one does.
I do.
Okay, but I don't want you to.
Thanks.
Like, no matter what I do, no matter how hard I row or how much I study or how many shifts I work,
I'm just always so far away from being who I want to be.
Look, if Cam can't get over himself, that's his own problem.
Look, I don't think I can do this right now.
If he doesn't feel like he's enough for you, there's nothing you can do.
Wait, you think I did it?
Yeah, I don't know Cam.
Only he can change that.
I'm sorry, Tegan.
You have been acting different lately.
I mean, you walked out on me at the dance.
No one knows where you were during the sabotage.
What am I supposed to think?
Good luck out there.
Thank you.
You could think I'm the Cam you know, the one who would never sabotage the team.
Yeah, but the Cam I know wouldn't pick a fight with Josh either.
Yeah, he and I used to be friends, but he barely talks to me now.
How did you know I got in a fight with Josh?
We're the only people there.
How can I fix it?
Look, he's going through his own thing.
It's him.
You just need some time.
You guys are pretty close now, huh?
We're not that close.
Close enough that he's sharing.
You want to know what I was doing?
I was selling my dad's truck to one of the Westville rowers.
Cam, okay, why didn't you just tell me that?
Because it's no one's business.
Hey, what happened out there?
I don't know what you're talking about.
You really think I'd do this to him?
Yeah, you don't know me at all.
You've been hitting under a 620 for months.
It was yours, and then you just quit.
Why are you in a car accident?
Why is this a secret?
I can't tell you.
Guess I choked.
No, not you.
Not when an invite to the Junior National Trials is on the line.
It's not mine to tell.
Are you safe?
Yes.
That's Olympic track.
What, did you throw the race?
Teagan, mind your business.
Is he in trouble?
He will be if anyone finds out about this accident.
Man, a bad score will follow you for the rest of your career.
Ryder is out there talking to Scout.
That should be you.
Do you understand that?
Are you asking me for help, or is he?
Cam, I am.
And I wouldn't be asking you if it wasn't important.
Yeah, of course I do.
Then why?
Because some things are more important than this race.
Like what?
I'm not bailing on your shitty boyfriend.
He's not my boyfriend.
No, I'm just a shitty friend.
The shop's going under, and I needed the money.
Did someone pay you to throw the race?
Whatever it costs, I'll cover it.
It's a favor for Teagan.
Cam.
I knew you would understand.
No, there had to be a better way.
It was $48,000, Teagan.
How was I supposed to get that kind of money?
A lot of family stuff, and this team is the only thing that makes sense in my life right now.
So I don't need this bullshit.
Who is it going to be, Cam?
I need you to put me on the same erg as Cam.
Teagan, there are no good options.
You really want me to choose between the one who bribed me or the one who sabotaged us?
Yes!
Did Teagan switch ergs?
I'm not keeping track.
If you want to be a leader, this is what leadership looks like.
Sometimes all you have in front of you are two bad options, and you have to make a choice.
What happened out there?
There was something wrong with my erg.
It probably affected your race as well.
The racing committee found tape deliberately fed into the drive chain.
Teagan, what did you do?
Nothing.
It was me.
No, it... it was me.
The judges determined there was an obstruction on the drive chain,
so they're going to take the erg out of the rest of the races.
Why would you do that?
I can't answer that.
And neither can Cam.
They will set up a time for you to re-row.
That's going to be set by the president of the jury, okay?
Hey, Coxy.
Hey, Strokesy.
You shouldn't have done that.
Well, you were about to throw away everything you worked for, Cam.
Yeah, but that was my choice.
In a day.
Yeah, it certainly has.
You threw away your own chance with the scout.
Yeah, well, that was mine.
Look, I told you to stay out of this.
Can't say I imagined this when you hit me with your bike.
You hit me.
You were the one who said that there are more important things than rowing,
and you know what? You were right.
You, you are more important.
You need to stay out of my mess.
