After a spectacularly arrogant gaffe makes him an outcast in his own
country, a pampered Scottish rugby star struggles to rebuild his
career--and life--in the American Midwest.
Even at the highest
level, rugby didnt pay players until the mid-1990s; it held on to
the amateur ideal far longer than any other sport. And now, greedy
but talented Keir and his old school father, rugby legend Finlay
Kilgour, find themselves stranded on opposite sides of that ideal.
As Keir ascends to the pinnacle of Scottish professional rugby, his
drive for fame and money collides with his quest for respect from
his critical father.
Following an appalling act of selfishness on
Scotlands biggest rugby stage, Keir thinks he has nowhere to turn.
He flees his rugby background in a delusional pursuit of greater
stardom in the high profile world of professional American football.
But in America, Keirs arrogance betrays him, and he winds up playing
for a lousy rugby team in Kansas City instead of the NFL. As
circumstances force Keir to take baby steps toward growing up, he
guides his new team to respectability. Along the way, Keir figures
out a way to show his father Finlay that theyre not so different
after all. Keir then takes his scrub team from Kansas City to
Scotland to play in front of his father. But new big-money
temptations once again threaten to derail Keirs attempts at
reconciliation with Finlay. In the end, Keir has to choose between
his own ideals or his fathers.
