Martin just won the biggest game of his life. After years of losses, he led Roma High to victory over their fiercest rivals—and earned a new name in the process: C. Captain. Champion. Coriol-killer. Suddenly, he’s the school’s golden boy, with chants echoing his name and classmates pushing him to run for class president.
But C doesn’t want speeches, applause, or the spotlight. He just wants to play lacrosse. To stay invulnerable behind the bars of his helmet. To keep moving, hitting, winning.
Except the spotlight won’t go away.
As the pressure builds—from his teammates, his best friend, his girlfriend, and his relentlessly supportive mother—C finds himself trapped in a role he never asked for. Forced to be more than a player, he begins to crack under the weight of expectation.
And in the final game of the season, when everything is on the line, C gives the crowd exactly what they wanted—one last breathtaking performance. One final play.
Victory is a haunting, character-driven adaptation of Shakespeare’s Coriolanus, reimagined in the world of American high school sports. Equal parts heroic and heartbreaking, it explores masculinity, ambition, and the fatal cost of honor in a world that never stops watching.
