The high-school football documentary The Last Game depicts one season of one of the best teams in Pennsylvania, Central Bucks West. Led by star running back Dustin Picciotti and coach Mike Pettine Sr., the team attempts to continue a winning streak that has been maintained through the previous two seasons. The biggest threat they face on their run to yet another state championship is a team coached by Mike Pettine Jr.

There may be thousands of high school football teams in America, but the story of CB West is one in a million. In the end, The Last Game is about a man who faces so much drama, triumph and turmoil that it will force him to make a major decision to the delight of some and the dismay of others.
