VIEW IN EDSHED

An exciting futuristic drama about acceptance, trust and teamwork from an award-winning author.

In a post-apocalyptic world where everyone wears Non-Contact suits to survive and where you can never touch another person directly, Cal and Jenna have formed a football team.

Not virtual - real football, with real contact. But Jenna's horrible twin Jacob is suspicious and it looks like they're headed for disaster...

Can the team reach out to Jacob and convince him that making contact is also what makes us feel alive?
