Can two people be rivals when they play on the same team?
Adalyn Reyes took years to perfect her daily routine: waking up at dawn, heading straight to the offices of the Miami Flames football team, working hard, returning home, and starting all over again the next day.
However, her routine is disrupted when a video goes viral showing her attacking the team's mascot. The owner of the Flames –who happens to be her father–, in an effort to calm things down, sends her to North Carolina, in the middle of nowhere, and assigns her to reform the local football team that has seen better days.
Adalyn's plans are turned upside down when she discovers that the team members are nine-year-old girls who wear ballet skirts to practice (not very practical), have goats as pets (a hassle), and are terrified of her (counterproductive).
As if that weren't enough, there is also Cameron Kaldani, a recently retired professional goalkeeper whose presence is a mystery. Cam, as he is affectionately called, is the perfect person to help Adalyn, but after their eventful meeting, which involves a rooster, Cam's foot, and the bumper of Adalyn's car, he sets out to drive her away.
However, for Adalyn to reach redemption, she must help this motley team by playing the Game of Patience, with or without Cam's help.
