The video introduces Withers as a rising young athlete whose promising career as a quarterback gets derailed by a life-changing injury. With the help of a legendary NFL player, he gets another chance at greatness again.

Him is directed by Justin Tipping from a screenplay written by Limetown creators Zack Akers and Skip Bronkie.

“The film follows Cameron Cade, a rising-star quarterback who has devoted his life, and identity, to football. On the eve of professional football’s annual scouting Combine, Cam is attacked by an unhinged fan and suffers a potentially career-ending brain trauma,” reads the official synopsis. “Just when all seems lost, Cam receives a lifeline when his hero, Isaiah White, a legendary eight-time Championship quarterback and cultural megastar, offers to train Cam at Isaiah’s isolated compound that he shares with his celebrity influencer wife, Elsie White. But as Cam’s training accelerates, Isaiah’s charisma begins to curdle into something darker, sending his protégé down a disorienting rabbit hole that may cost him more than he ever bargained for.”
