Desperate times call for desperate measures, so losing soccer coach Gordon McCloud accepts the signing of Jackie McQuillan, a player with undeniable talent but a reputation as a team-killer. The team needs a player of star quality, or it may have to relocate from their tiny town to a larger market. Furthermore, McQuillan happens to be the coach's son-in-law, and McCloud hasn't exactly enjoyed the most harmonious relationship with his daughter.
