Living in a Mexican-American neighborhood of Los Angeles, Santiago Muñez spends his days working and playing pickup soccer while holding onto a distant ambition: a place in the professional game. Kuno Becker is Santiago, whose life changes when an unexpected chance sends him to England for a tryout with Newcastle United.

Alessandro Nivola, Stephen Dillane, and Anna Friel are part of the world waiting for him in Newcastle.
