Description Starting at a new school can suck big time particularly if you've just moved town. Soccer is a language and religion to Rudi and his mates - who are all back in Sydney. Lee hates soccer. Lee hates sport full stop. He'd much rather be hanging with his mates in Brisbane, jamming with his punk-rock band. If you're all alone, even a weird friend can make a difference. Caught at a weak moment, Lee finds himself signing up to their school's under-achieving soccer team with Rudi. Before too long, Rudi is sharing Lee's passion for punk-rock, and Lee's spending as much time on the soccer pitch.
Schools tour.
