Ethan Fox is living a double life. He isn't just a talented football player - he's also a spy!

Midfielder Ethan Fox has never stood out on the pitch, despite his high football IQ. But when he gets scouted by an elite academy, it's his chance to prove he has what it takes. This could be Ethan's last hope to live out his dream - and provide for his family.

But all is not what it seems. When Ethan is approached by the mysterious Department Eleven, he becomes drawn into the shady world of spying - and a scandal that could rock the sport.

And uncovering the truth might not just threaten Ethan's football career... it could put his life and family at risk!
