A psychedelic football story presented by Third Eye Sockeye. Week to week we follow the Athens Beach Seafarers as they run their west coast-option offense through the gauntlet of alien abductions, satanic summonings, and crypto cryptids that is community college football.
In the finale episode, Marcus comes face to face with the mysteries of the universe. What is levitating the Spanish Missions of California? Who killed Bigfoot? And why do kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch? The answers may upset you, but if upsets never happened we wouldn't play the game; and the winless Athens Beach football team looks to cause an upset in their final game of the season.
