James Brooke is a retired diplomat living in Amsterdam with his young Dutch wife, Annette. When their daughter, Susan, decides to visit with her black friend, Robert, a hunt begins to expose some long hidden disturbing truths.

As a virtuoso left-fielder with the mentality of a street fighter, soccer pro Glenn Helder seemed a Sunday's child. But when he got injured while playing for Arsenal, things went terribly wrong.

From then onwards, it all went downhill for Helder, who in this film initially evokes our aversion, but gradually our sympathy.
