However, when she arrives in Australia, she gets on the wrong bus and ends up at a soccer academy instead. Not being able to make it to her actual destination, she decides to stay and immediately makes friends. But, she also makes an enemy, Edie, who is determined to make her life miserable. Cory wants nothing more than to defeat Edie's team in the tournament. A difficult task considering she has no prior soccer or sporting experience. It will take lots of practice and determination, but does she have what it takes to prove everyone wrong? Or will she burn her team to the ground, proving her enemy right?
