Newly widowed Francesca Canelli is not your typical soccer mom but she'd do anything to help her teenage son Matt honor his dad's memory. Cash-strapped and still grieving, Francesca accepts a sexual proposition from the coach of Pegasi United who promises to secure Matt a starting position on his premier St. Louis team. Their bargain quickly sours when Coach Rex demeans Matt, abuses Francesca, and threatens to renege on the deal.
The coach with more enemies than friends soon winds up dead and the ensuing investigation establishes Francesca as the prime murder suspect. Now she's playing games with a team of hard-nosed detectives, her vulnerability fading as she fights to keep not only herself out of jail but Matt too. Then Francesca discovers she's not the only person who knows what happened that night Rex died. She strikes a new bargain but will this one resolve her growing problems?
