A documentary portrait of Steven Gerrard's struggle to balance personal greatness with the weight of fan expectation and institutional decline at Liverpool FC.

Steven Gerrard became perhaps the greatest player in the history of Liverpool FC, but did so when success and trophies were declining. It became his personal mission to lift the famous club back to the top. That loyalty raised him to God-like status with Liverpool fans, but was an unbearable burden, bringing with it a profound sense of responsibility to live up to their and his own expectations.
