Plot – After being one of the best players of the 'North Dallas Bulls' football team, Phillip Elliot finds himself on the bench watching his companions' victories. He breaks up with Johanne for sweet Charlotte Phillip, who pushes him to leave the sports environment for a more normal future. However, Phillip cannot forget his past. When the Bulls reach the finals against Chicago, he is sent on the field and makes a move that would ensure the victory but a team-mate makes a mistake that ruins the play. Elliot is convened by the management, that reproaches him for his sporting and non-sporting faults. However, before he is dismissed, he hands in his resignation and reaches Charlotte.
