Forced to marry her wayward cousin, Ursula Saint keeps a damaging family secret for years. Fifth generation New Zealander, she’s the product of the formidable Saint family; owners of All Saints Soccer Club and winners of last year’s cup final. But there’s a rottenness at the heart of the family and the club falls victim to their bigotry and lies, threatening to drag the Saints’ good name through the churned up winter mud.

The Saints have rules and disobeying them draws consequences. The Saints don’t associate with referees and that’s what Teina Fox is. Ursula has broken rule number one of the Saint code.
