Sarimah has played soccer in her home in Syria but everything changes when her family suddenly moves to Canada. Now, Sarimah must learn English and adapt to the cold winter weather.

Her soccer skills earn her a place on the league team but star player, Tamsen is convinced the spot is given to Sarimah out of charity. Sarimah has to find out if she has what it takes to play organized soccer, to show Tamsen that she deserves a place on the team, and to learn to love her new home as much as she loves the game.
