Chester Coyote is a very talented paintball player. Unfortunately,
he would rather be a lone wolf than run with the pack. His team,
the Wolves, is in the state paintball finals, but he isn't seeing
eye-to-eye with his best friend, Cora Ramirez, the Wolves' team
captain. Chester won't follow her orders, and his class-clown
personality is turning the rest of the Wolves against him. If
Chester doesn't decide to play well with others, he'll lose his
friends -- as well as the paintball championship.
