Synopsis
Lee, an experienced first-division striker, is paired with Terry, a newcomer making his debut. Throughout, Lee asserts dominance over Terry, ostensibly guiding him but also subtly undermining him, casting doubt on Terry’s future, potential injury, and life decisions. In a pivotal game, Terry shines, outperforming Lee, who struggles. This leads to Terry distancing himself from Lee, as Lee grapples with the fear that his best days on the field may be behind him.
