Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Set to the narration of a talking buzzard, Charlie moves to a new town with his family. He wants to be friends with the popular kids at his local park, but they all play football and he doesn't because he's a nerd. Charlie vows to find the boys a football to play with, therefore endearing him to the town boys.
