Prieš dešimt metų iš Nigerijos kilęs chirurgas-neuropatologas Bennet‘as Omalu (filme jį vaidina Will‘as Smith‘as) kartu su kolegomis paskelbė apie naujos ligos – lėtinės trauminės encefalopatijos – atradimą. Medikas ligą atrado, tirdamas 2002 m. mirusio vieno garsiausių istorijoje amerikietiškojo futbolo žaidėjų Maiko Vebsterio smegenų mėginį. B. Omalu atradimas, kad futbolininkų smegenų pažeidimai, anksčiau stebėti tik Alzheimerio liga ar silpnaprotyste sergančių asmenų smegenyse, ilgai buvo ignoruojami – daugiausiai JAV Nacionalinės futbolo lygos (NFL) pastangomis. Apie tai garsiai buvo pradėta kalbėti tik 2009 m., kuomet Ameriką sukrėtė netikėta 26-erių metų futbolininko Chris‘o Henry‘io mirtis. Jo smegenyse buvo rasti tokie pat pažeidimai.
