"When we first meet him, Michael Oher is one of thirteen children by a mother addicted to
crack; he does not know his real name, his father, his birthday, or how to read and write.
He takes up football, and school, after a rich, white, Evangelical family plucks him
from the streets. Then two great forces alter Oher: the family's love and the evolution
of professional football itself into a game where the quarterback must be protected at any cost.
Our protagonist becomes the priceless package of size, speed, and agility necessary to
guard the quarterback's greatest vulnerability -- his blind side."
