Seventeen-year-old Camila Hassan lives a double life in Rosario, Argentina. At home, she's the dutiful daughter living within her family's narrow expectations, but on the field, she's La Furia, a soccer player with incredible skill and talent. When her team qualifies for the South American tournament, Camila finally gets the chance to see how far her talent can take her; hopefully she'll get an athletic scholarship to a North American university. But her parents don't know about her soccer playing and she needs their permission to compete in the tournament. And Diego, the boy she's been in love with for years, is back in town on a break from playing with Juventus. As Camila is forced to confront her secrets, she struggles with her feelings for Diego and the harsh life that girls face in Rosario.
