'Tackle' is the story of a teenager's anxiety after coming out as a homosexual. Over the course of 12 hours we observe the misguided views of Daniel's parents and friends and the social struggle caused because of this. Daniel is forced into a whirlwind of emotions after he comes out to his parents as being gay. As if having un-supportive parents wasn't enough, he is tormented by the thoughts of the locker rooms of his football team come Sunday. We witness the stereotyping Daniel is subjected to from the people who are supposed to support him most.
