What is Fourth Down and Love about?

Erin Allen (Pascale Hutton) is a single mother. Her 12-year-old daughter Kiera (Sophia Powers, “Unexpected Grace”) loves football and plays in the junior flag football league. At practice, Erin runs into the coach’s brother, professional football player Mike Hanson (Ryan Paevey). Erin and Mike are blindsided – they were college sweethearts. Mike’s visiting his brother Jimmy (Dan Payne, “Outrunners”). But, he also got injured in football, diminishing his chance at a championship ring. When Jimmy gets the call to coach the high school team, Mike steps up as the flag football coach. As Erin and Mike spend time together, old sparks are rekindled despite Erin’s hesitance. Right before the championship game, Mike receives good news but also an unsettling truth. Meanwhile, Erin learns to go after what she wants – and they both learn to follow their hearts.
