Speed demon
Jace Holloway was destined for greatness. A track prodigy from North London, he was on the path to becoming one of the UK’s top young sprinters—until a devastating knee injury shattered his dreams.
Though he could still run, he would never reach the world-class speeds that once made him unstoppable.
Lost and uncertain about his future, Jace drifts through his days at Harrow Sixth Form College, haunted by what could have been.
When his best mate, Marcus, suggests he try football, Jace is sceptical.
He has never played seriously, and the game requires more than just raw pace. But something about the sport intrigues him.
At first, he only watches from the sidelines, attending the school team’s tryouts without committing.
The game is different from the track—unpredictable, tactical, demanding.
Yet, the more he observes, the more he wonders: Can speed still be his weapon? Can football give him a second shot at greatness?
Jace faces a new challenge—learning the game from scratch, proving himself against skilled players, and overcoming his lingering doubts.
But if he can harness his speed in a new way, he might just find a new dream waiting for him on the pitch.
