When 20-year-old Matildas star, India Harrison, was offered a contract at Arsenal Women's Football Club for the 2020/2021 season, she was ecstatic and ready for the next step in her career. Although she would have to leave her best friend, Kristie Mewis, at the Houston Dash, she was excited to be in the same country as her close friend and Australian captain, Sam Kerr.
When Indi arrived at Arsenal, she was entranced by the Dutch girl, Jill Roord. Jill and Indi's supposed "friendship" quickly developed, with both players realising they were not only friends.
At the same time, Sam and Kristie, with help from Indi, had been developing their own romance, despite being long distance.
But Indi's past wasn't what many people expected. Her dark secrets ran deeper than what was on the surface, or hidden by sleeves. What does Indi do when those closest start diving into this past? Will she speak the truth and open up or will she live with the haunting experiences, forever?
A story about love, friendship and triumph, in a world that can often seem unconquerable.
