Not unlike the challenges faced by the US Soccer Program today, the novel looks for ways to use many resources -- such as untapped talent pools, many underutilized ethnic soccer clubs, information technology and an outstanding sports marketer - via the efforts of two likelong friends - who working incessently to implement their vision for the United States senior program.

But as the players and coaches travel this road together -- something even more special is sparked -- a spirit and kinship of family which brings together this set of diverse human beings.
Follow the exploits of players recruited from across the United States, from all walks of life, and they and their coaches grow and bond together in an effort to accomplish something both remarkable and special.
