Synopsis
After getting fired for lack of sportsmanship, disgraced pro soccer player Emily Chen travels home at the behest of her widowed brother, Brandon and niece, Ava. When she accidentally injures Ava’s coach, Ian Vermette, she covers for him and leads Ava’s team into the playoffs. Ian takes a Ted Lasso approach to coaching where winning isn’t everything while Emily’s competitive nature wants to win-win-win. With a shot at the championship at stake, their differing coaching styles threaten their objective, but as they begin to warm up to each other on and off the field, they each make strides toward healing old wounds. But when Emily gets an offer from her old coach to return, their romantic relationship is threatened. Can these two get back on the same team before the big game?
