When the provincial football club Krasny Yastreb remains without a coach before the start of the season in the Russian Premier League, its CEO Anton Danin, bypassing sponsors, appoints Elena Volkova, a talented Muscovite who led her Saiga team to the Champions League, to this position. Now she is the first female coach in men's sports. But Elena will get a cold reception in the city. Because football here is an exclusively male world.

There is a year left until the World Cup. After another loss to the national team, the fans decide to choose a new coach from among their own. And now the humble chef Dima faces the most difficult task: not only to assemble a team of the best players and work out winning schemes, but also to reach the World Cup playoffs for the first time in the history of Russian football. And if legendary football players can help him in this, then everyone is ready to put sticks in the wheels, starting from sports officials and ending with his subordinates who do not take self-taught seriously.
