A black comedy about the undead, soccer, romance, religion, terrorism, budgeting and unnecessary violence during the 2010 World Cup.Bend It Like Beckham meets Hammer Horror meets 101 Money-Making Ideas for Financially Distressed Aristocrats. During their 200+ years together Count Basarab and Igor, his evil sidekick, have had a simple solution to most problems; murder. Helping Transnistria to win the 2010 World Cup finals and solving their financial problems, however, will involve reviving Transnistria’s most famous footballing son, Giorgio, (who was decapitated and cryogenically frozen in 1992) and easing him back into the limelight by giving his sex-obsessed bastard son the skills to be selected for the National Squad and then swapping them. Nothing in life is that simple, of course, and the mafia, Al Queda, the CIA, Giorgio’s former wife, a pathologically jealous husband and a terminally ill multimillionaire do their best to make life complicated for our “heroes”.

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . .
*****
After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
