Veronica Swanson, a soccer investor
from Wisconsin, falls for Derek Fallon, a charismatic forward from Manchester,
England. She signs him to the Madison Maelstrom, a losing team. Headstrong and
stubborn, Derek solves her financial trouble in unorthodox ways. He plays the
game with fanatical zeal and stirs the growing crowd with lunacy. Soon every
game is a sellout and his female admirers dub him "Romeo," pursuing
him with the adolescent adoration of a rock star's band of groupies. (Cover Art: Leta Nolan Childers)
