Synopsis by Dan Pavlides
Jimmy (Jim Youngs) is from a wealthy family and longs to be a professional soccer player in this plodding sports drama. His mother Georgia (Rutanya Alda) and father Nick (Peter Henry Schroeder) are opposed, believing Jimmy should focus on other endeavors. After he fails in his tryout with the New York Rockers, Jimmy travels to Brazil to learn from the soccer superstar Santos (Pele). Jimmy wins a spot on the team with a chance to play in the proverbial "big game."
