"She cheated on me. He cheated on you. What do you say? Want to settle the score?" KATE WILSON, a hot-headed Dragon striker, and ROSIE TORRES, an underappreciated Sea Lion defender, clash in their mini soccer season's qualifier. Spark(le)s fly on and off the field when Rosie glitter bombs Kate's locker before kickoff, convinced her ex-girlfriend cheated with Kate. After a brawl erupts mid-game, their fed-up coaches sentence both squads to community service before a possible rematch. But when back-and-forth pranks spiral out of control, where Kate also discovers her boyfriend's cheating with Rosie's ex, they're issued an ultimatum: band together as one team or face disqualification from the long-awaited two-day Mini Soccer Washington State Tournament. While the players struggle to cohabitate, no one expects that team bonding would result in Kate and Rosie dating; little do they know it's a fake dating scheme both girls secretly cook up to get back at their cheating exes. When you fake-date your rival to settle the score with your exes, things can get complicated, especially when you accidentally kickstart real feelings. 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲
