Amidst stories of his first fight, his first love, and difficult moments that truly defined him, you follow Chuck through his struggles and successes in his college football career (which led to a role in the movie The Big Game), and you see Chuck transform to a courageous and compassionate man through glimpses of the other defining period of his life — serving in World War II.
