For fans of Ted Lasso and A League of Their Own, a romantic comedy that follows two soccer friends who are at odds before falling in love as their team prepares for the World Cup.
Despite being only 26 years old, Grace Henderson has been a mainstay of the US Women's National Team for ten years. But when an injury keeps her out of commission, Phoebe Matthews, a daring newcomer, steps in. Phoebe is a boisterous joker who plays with a delight that Grace lost sometime along the line. She is everything that Grace is not. Grace never imagined that she would become friends with benefits with the class clown she views as her opponent.
Phoebe Matthews was thrilled to be training with her idol, Grace, as she has always admired Grace's talent. However, she soon realizes that Grace is more to her than just a comrade. One bold kiss and she's hooked. She's been waiting for Grace, and Grace is everything.
Instead of competing for the same position, the women decide to find a way to play together as the World Cup draws near and Grace recovers from her injuries. However, Grace worries that she is developing feelings for Phoebe while they are not on the field. Will both athletes come to the realization that their relationship matters more to them than making the roster as their tension increases?
