Archer Hadley is a senior at Austin High School who notices an issue that many people take for granted, there are no automatic doors at his school. Archer has cerebral palsy and has been in a wheelchair since he was a child because of his disability, so the school not having automatic doors makes it harder for him to move around and be independent. So instead of complaining about it, like most teenagers, Archer decides to take matters into his own hands.
