We follow Jón (10) and his teammates as they travel to the Westman Islands to take part in a large football tournament held there every summer.

The boys’ lives take an unexpected turn, however, when they witness Ívar (10), a player from an opposing team, getting roughed up by his father, Tóti. The football tournament turns into a dramatic rescue mission as the boys try to save Ívar from his father. But it's easier said than done when nobody believes the boys.

Jón and Ívar, sworn enemies on the field, go together on an emotional journey with both dramatic and exciting consequences and find a friendship that will endure – and a nearby volcano will wake from its slumber.

This story follows an adolescent soccer prodigy poised for big-league success—so long as his hubris doesn’t get in the way. Everyone knows Tito is a whiz on the field, but his father insists he place equal emphasis on his studies. That balance topples, however, once an agent pegs Tito as a major talent and convinces the family to uproot from their rural Nogales home and relocate to Montevideo. Will Tito fulfill his dream? Or will his focus on soccer, to the detriment of everything else, sabotage his goals? Based on the Latin American best-seller by former soccer player Daniel Baldi.
