In a small neighborhood in London, Jess Bhamra is a British-Indian teenager passionate about soccer, a sport her family frowns upon. Despite the cultural expectations that pressure her to become the perfect daughter and future wife, Jess dreams of being like her idol, David Beckham. The dilemma between her desires and her family duties becomes a constant struggle in her life.
When she meets Juliette "Jules" Paxton, a young British girl who shares her love for the sport, Jess joins a women's soccer team. As she progresses in the sport, she faces her mother's disapproval, who wants her to focus on learning to cook and preparing for marriage. However, with the support of Jules and her team, Jess begins to carve out her own path and challenge the norms that have been imposed on her.
At the same time, Jess finds herself attracted to her coach, a charming young man who makes her question her priorities. The tension between her personal ambitions and her family's wishes leads to moments of laughter, sadness, and self-discovery. As a significant tournament approaches, Jess must make difficult decisions that will not only define her future but will also test her love and loyalty to her family and friends. In soccer, as in life, it’s about finding the balance between what we want and what is expected of us.
