An unlucky father is trying to restore his relationship with his seven-year-old son after a divorce. He takes his son to the final match of his favorite hockey team, but it suddenly turns out that the tickets are fake. Hoping to rectify the situation and introduce the boy to his idol, the father hijacks a bus with hockey players and takes them to his son.

A twelve-year-old boy hands over his older brother to local hooligans. Struggling with guilt over his betrayal, he tries to make amends.

Ivan is a former Russian football star, now a downed pilot and the host of a boring football show. Everything changes when he gets into a live argument with his former teammate and the country's most successful lapta coach, Maks. After the public conflict, Ivan loses not only his job but also the last of his public recognition. To regain his honor, he makes a bet with Maks to become the best lapta coach. Better than Maks. However, the team Ivan assembles turns out to be, to put it mildly, less than professional: a neurotic, a boring pensioner, a gamer, a weightlifter, and a notorious hooligan. Ivan must rehabilitate this motley "dream gang" and lead it to victory.
