• Synopsis

High school is crazy enough, but for 15-year-old Sara Davis (Leah Pipes) it’s about to get even crazier. A national caliber soccer prospect, Sara dances through her opponents to make impossible shots on goal—skills honed by her father, Gil (Scott Patterson), a women's soccer coach. But this success has come with a price: Sara has sacrificed her interest in dance, photography and of course, boys. Sara's mother, Julia (Lisa Darr), struggles with Gil's drive to perfect Sara as she guides her daughter through the trials of adolescence.
Encouraged by her best friend, Tutti (Lalaine), to jump-start her life outside soccer, Sara makes up for lost time.
From hi-jinks in the chemistry lab to a budding relationship with Josh (Drew Tyler Bell), the cute but shy photographer on the school newspaper, Sara learns more about herself each day. And while she relishes her freedom on the soccer field, Sara’s renewed connection with her mother leads her to question the athletic path that Gil has set out for her.
When Gil learns that Sara has a shot at becoming the youngest player ever on the U.S. National evelopment Team, he pushes even harder. Sara’s hopes of performing in the dance recital and exploring her relationship with Josh are shoved aside. With National Team scouts watching every shot, Sara faces the challenge of discovering her true self,so she can make the best move of her life.
