Rob, once a professiona l soccer player like his famous father, is now a tracksuited teaching assis tant, and a schoolboy whom he is teaching to read is stabbed in a gang atta ck.

While England plays Argentina for the World Cup, the characters gat her-Rob, Glenn, Jim, Tom, and Stacey behind the bar-to see what hope and so lidarity they still share.
