Timo Ebalu is a football prodigy. At only 17, he gets a call-up to the Kenya national football team, the Elephants of the Mara. He instantly becomes for the country what he has been for his high school team – a one-man goal scoring machine. But Ebalu has a monumental battle on his hands – that with his parents. They frown on football, or any sport, as a career and won’t settle for anything but academic excellence. Unfortunately, Ebalu, unlike his whiz siblings, is poor in academics. His life at home becomes unbearable just as his football career soars to the stratosphere. The collision between two seemingly irreconcilable positions is epic.
