Dylan along with his friend Youssef is getting ready for a football tournament – and nothing else matters to him. However, an unfortunate accident disrupts his training. Will the boy return to the pitch and lift the cup of his dreams?

Until now, Dylan's life has revolved around running and scoring goals. He was cheered on for that by his favourite YouTuber and his dad, the team coach. The determined striker can't accept the fact that he must suddenly start moving around in a wheelchair. During his recovery, he is giving it all, but everything seems to suggest that he will never be a professional athlete again. He has yet to come to terms with his friend Youssef being the team leader. Still, the boy finds the drive to perform, and his limits become his incredible strength.
