Memphis, Tennessee. Après une série de séjours dans différents foyers d'accueil, Michael Oher, adolescent désormais sans abri, trouve enfin un peu de chaleur au contact de Leigh Anne Tuohy, une femme au franc-parler qui l'accueille sous son toit et l'impose auprès des siens. L'intégration de ce colosse afro-américain dans un milieu blanc et riche ne se fait pas sans heurts, ce qui ne démonte toutefois pas Leigh Anne, qui s'est beaucoup attachée à Michael. Déjà admis dans l'école privée que fréquentent ses frère et soeur d'adoption, ce dernier se fait remarquer sur le terrain de football. Au point où des propositions d'universités prestigieuses lui sont faites, conditionnelles à ce que ses résultats académiques s'améliorent. Les Tuohy retiennent alors les services d'un professeur particulier. Or, lorsque l'athlète arrête son choix sur l'université du Mississippi, un contentieux survient auprès des autres institutions qui prétendent que les Tuohy ont influencé sa décision. Perturbé, Michael s'enfuit.
When homeless teenager Michael Oher is given a home by the Touhy family in Memphis, he learns to play football and find success in school, and they discover a new son and brother.
