Part 2: Join Trent Bradshaw in ReelShort’s The Lost Quarterback Returns Movie
The Lost Quarterback Returns follows Trent Bradshaw & his family. Trent was an NFL star quarterback married to beauty queen Krista. The couple shared two adorable kids, Isabella and Asher. As a living football legend, Trent cared deeply about providing opportunities to new talents through his charity work.
Trent even launched Bradshaw Sporting Goods, but during the grand opening, a devastating fire broke out, which separated Trent Bradshaw from his son Asher. With the fire department saving the injured, Trent and his wife rushed to the hospital to find their lost son.
However the hospital staff mistook someone else for Asher, leaving Trent Bradshaw gutted. As the search for Asher continued, Trent discovered the boy mistaken as a son needed surgery, so Trent decided to step up and cover the medical costs, and later he and his wife went on to adopt the boy, mistaking him for an orphan.
The Bradshaw couple hoped their good karma would return to their son Asher, hoping he would return soon. Unbeknownst to Trent and Krista, their adopted son was Wyatt Lewis, the son of ex-convict Donny Lewis, who was a crazy, psychotic fan of Trent.
Donny was envious of Trent’s achievements and blamed his knee injury for being unable to chase after his football dreams like Trent had. So he had planned to get Trent to train his son Wyatt, but during the fire accident, Wyatt was mistaken for Asher.
That’s when Donny decided Trent was not only going to train Wyatt but raise him as he found Asher and kidnapped him. With Asher losing his memories after the injury, he was convinced Donny was his father.
Falling into Donny’s master plan, Trent went on to raise Wyatt as his son, giving him the Bradshaw identity as Pierce Bradshaw, loving him and raising him in luxury. Whereas Asher was raised in a hell by Donny.
Twelve years later, The Lost Quarterback Returns movie continued with Trent Bradshaw hiring a private detective, having never given up on finding his son Asher. Whereas the NFL superstar’s son Asher was living in the slums, stuck with his abusive kidnapper Donny, while being in and out of jail, forced to take the blame for Donny’s wrongdoings.
The Bradshaw family reunion felt uncertain, but fate threw a chance when Asher, dreaming of becoming a quarterback, ended up at football selections coached by Trent Bradshaw. Asher Bradshaw was talented just like Trent and was hoping to secure the football scholarship to go to college.
But at the football selections, Asher, despite outperforming Pierce Bradshaw and others, gets accused of cheating. The Bradshaw family, given Asher’s prison records, turned against him as they went on to make his life miserable. Well, except for Isabella, who was Asher’s only support, feeling the strange connection of sisterly love.
Luckily, Trent Bradshaw finally discovered the truth about Asher being his lost son. But by the time the truth was out, Asher was far gone, wanting nothing to do with his family.

Here are the highlights of The Lost Quarterback Returns ending to know if the Bradshaw family reunited twelve years after the fire tragedy that tore them apart.
Finding The Lost Son
The only clue Trent Bradshaw had to find his lost son was his unique scar. After countless missed opportunities, Trent was so close to realizing Asher, the guy they had tormented, was actually their lost son.
But Pierce Bradshaw, the adopted son of Trent Bradshaw, ruined his plans by casting a burning iron mark on Asher’s scar and even went on to falsely frame Asher for theft. Because before Trent could discover the truth, Pierce had, and he was driven out of jealousy and spite.
As Pierce Bradshaw plotted to frame Asher with false allegations and send him back to prison, Trent Bradshaw confirmed Asher’s identity with a DNA test, thus ending his twelve-year-long search.
