Soccer phenom Charlie Connor is cruising through high school, until he gets the letter from London. Charlie makes the academy team at elite club Burnchester United – and makes fast enemies. Battered by inferior opponents and spurned by jealous teammates, he yearns for his Virginia home. But Charlie’s dad can’t hear him, not while he’s living his dream through his son. Charlie’s girlfriend and best pal are no help either. Inspired by his yoga instructor, Charlie fights on and earns promotion to Burnchester United. Maturing into a world-class talent, he envisions a career playing for Burnchester and the U.S. national team. But Charlie’s dad is pushing him down a different path, a path shaped by ego, greed, and Charlie’s dual citizenship. Will Charlie stand up to his dad, or will he get taken down?
