Twenty-year-old Olivia Aarons has spent her life in the shadow of Arsenal's greatness. After rising through the club's academy and spending a year on loan at Brighton, she returns to North London with one goal: to prove she belongs in the first team. But preseason brings more than just tactical drills and burning legs-it brings Kyra Cooney-Cross. Kyra, 23, is already cementing her place at the heart of Arsenal's midfield. Confident, cheeky, and fiercely competitive, she's everything Olivia pretends not to be-but can't stop noticing. What started as a few shared training drills last year begins to unravel into something deeper when they're thrown back into the same orbit.

From brutal training sessions to Champions League drama, locker room tension to late-night rooftop conversations, Olivia and Kyra are forced to confront what they really want-from football, from each other, and from themselves.
