Eleven-year-old Will Brennan is Liverpool FC`s biggest fan. At his boys` school in England, Will`s love and knowledge of The Beautiful Game even outshines his football-obsessed mates. But life is turned upside down when his long-absent father, Gareth, reappears with tickets to the 2005 Champions League Final in Istanbul. But before the two can start anew, Gareth dies suddenly, impossibly - this time leaving Will forever. Searching for a sliver of meaning in a world that seems to have abandoned him, Will runs away to Turkey to honor his father`s memory and to be with his beloved Liverpool FC. En route, and needing help, Will befriends Alek, a former Bosnian football star who abandoned the game after a tragic event during his country's civil war. Despite his initial reluctance, Alek finds himself inspired by Will`s heroic journey and agrees to take him to Istanbul. And thus this unlikely pair of underdogs takes to the road, battling fate and fortune in a desperate bid to prove to themselves that it`s never too late to dream.
