A sports comedy-drama about ego, teamwork, and learning that individual talent means nothing without collective harmony.

The club buys a talented young player, Geoff, for a record sum of money. The team members do not like their new star and friction develops immediately. Game after game is lost until Geoff begins to realize that there is more at stake than just his own career.
