Synopsis

Would-be soccer star Sean McLaine knows what it's like to still inhabit a child's body in high school. Well into junior year, he remains woefully puberty-challenged, and it's messing with his soccer dreams. Ignored by his coaches, he faces daily embarrassment and bullying. Out on the pitch, he's up against practically full-grown men who don't mind greeting his undeniable talent with repeated pummeling.

At school none of the girls seem to see him at all. He's a nothing, a nonentity. But not in the eyes of brilliant, whimsical Kayleigh McLaughlin, a recent transplant from Ireland. She is hopelessly drawn to Sean's poetic nature, both in class and on the soccer pitch.

Kayleigh wants to help Sean clear the hurdles of a potentially career-ending injury and the echoes of a horrific past trauma. But will Sean's unbridled devotion to soccer doom the couple's budding relationship? He can juggle a soccer ball, but can he juggle reaching for his dreams and having a personal life too?
