Kaori Tanaka - Kaori hates attention, and with good reason. Other people's photos and captions have burned her before, so she's made a career out of staying behind the camera instead. As an intern at Northbridge FC, she fetches drinks, sets up cones and quietly "doesn't know ball" while secretly seeing every mistake on the pitch before the players do. Fixing a star's ruined image means stepping into the frame she's spent years avoiding - and letting one very annoying forward change how the world looks at her.

Jobe Ellis - Ellis should be a dream headline: hometown star, Northbridge's brightest forward, the name on the back of every kid's shirt. Instead he's the problem, the attitude case, the reputation the club can't spin anymore. Cleaning it up is his last shot, and the only person who can help is a camera-shy intern who wants absolutely nothing to do with him. If Kaori Tanaka can teach him how to be seen differently, he might just drag her into the light with him.
