In the cutthroat world of pro soccer, a club lives and dies by the stars on its under-21 team. They are the future and lifeblood of any franchise, but most will never make it.
21 Thunder is the story of the Montreal Thunder U21 team, following the team's star players on and off the field. A story of love, crime, race, sex and athletic glory, at its core the series is about how a group of players and coaches unite as family in the whirlwind of life, one step away from the pros.
Helping to coach the team are Christy Cook, an Olympic soccer hero forced on the team for PR reasons; and Davey Gunn, an international soccer superstar who is on the run from both the paparazzi and his past.
The team consists of striker and former gang-member Nolan Gallard; Ivory Coast midfielder Junior Lolo, a brilliant new arrival; and team captain, goalie and academic prodigy Alex el Haddadi.
Together they strive under notorious coach Albert Rocas to win games for the club and a future for themselves.
