Veronica Swanson is
a vivacious soccer investor from Madison, Wisconsin, who 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, against the advice of Veronica and her
attorney. 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. The out-of-control situation escalates until Veronica and
Derek must survive under the same roof in a relationship both comical and
emotional as they ward off the fans and suffer tumultuous feelings as they fall
in love.
