There’s a ripple of disquiet in the locker-room when a new player, Leon, joins a minor-league soccer team. When Leon shares an apartment with arch-rival Mario, it sets in motion an unexpected – and very hot – love affair. But the path of gay love in this macho world is not an easy one. Fake girlfriends, gossip and blackmail complicate matters. With professional soccer careers hanging in the balance, will love win out, or will Mario and Leon stay in the closet and sacrifice their love for their sport?
