I genitori vorrebbero che la figlia Jess fosse la classica ragazza indiana: dolce, remissiva e ansiosa di sposarsi con un bravo giovane come la sorella Pinky. Il problema è che Jess, che ha fatto della star del Manchester United Beckham il suo eroe, vorrebbe soprattutto giocare a calcio. Finché la cosa rimane confinata nell'ambito del parco pubblico non ci sono soverchi problemi. Ma quando Jules, giocatrice in una squadra regolare, la vede giocare e la convince ad unirsi al proprio team le cose cambiano. Non solo in famiglia, visto che entrambe sono attratte dal proprio allenatore Joe. E la finale di campionato, cui dovrebbe partecipare anche un importante osservatore americano, coincide proprio con le nozze di Pinky...
