Synopsis

Mal (Bill Nighy) manages England's homeless football team, taking his players to Rome to compete in a global tournament: the Homeless World Cup. Mal makes the last-minute decision to add talented striker Vinny (Micheal Ward) to the squad, who could help them to win if only he’d let go of his past and become part of the team.
