Johnny de Graaf (Chiem Vreeken) the star of an Italian football club is living the high life with his wife Renate (Sallie Harmsen). However, after a disastrous season and a clash with the club chairman, he finds himself sidelined and stuck on the transfer list.

Can he regain control of his life from these dangerous influences or will the lure of easy money overcome his love of football?

When her brother Floris (Mingus Dagelet) disappears in Bangkok, she goes in search of him. Gwen soon discovers that corrupt forces within the Asian business world are manipulating international football at every level. Now, with millions of dollars at stake, these powerful networks will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
