A retired English soccer star isn’t adjusting well to his new life as a scout until he encounters an extraordinary Peruvian soccer talent whose temper just might end his career.
Synopsis:
Ray Marshall, an ex English soccer player, isn’t adjusting well to his new life as a talent scout. Ray battles a divorce, a drinking problem, and is in a fight to save his job since his boss decided to send him to Peru on an impossible mission to draft a hot soccer talent. But Ray’s outlook begins to change when he discovers a young player that calls himself “El Machito” and who is about to be kicked off his team because of his recklessness, temper and attitude. Machito’s drive reminds Ray of somebody he used to know: himself. And Ray does something he hasn’t done in a very long time: he takes a chance. Ray and Machito will butt heads all the way, but despite how much they seem to despise each other, they will realize how much their futures lay in each other hands.
