The December Boys

Soccer Boy

Please devote some of your precious time to be part of the intriguing story of Santiago “Santi” Cruz on his journey to become a football icon. Santi has never known a life beyond the dusty fields and narrow alleys of his small village in Mexico. His family works hard on their farm, barely making enough to get by. But Santi has a dream that stretches far beyond the fields, he wants to play for the Mexican national soccer team. With no proper cleats, no coach and no real team, he sharpens his skills by kicking around a makeshift ball in the dirt roads with his friends. His father sees soccer as a waste of time, pushing him to focus on farm work. But Santi refuses to let his dream die. One day, a scout from a youth academy in Mexico City spots him playing in a local tournament. It’s his one shot but leaving home means risking everything; his family’s support, his friendships and the only life he’s ever known. As he steps into a world of elite competition, where wealthy kids have every advantage, Santi must fight harder than ever. Faced with corruption in youth soccer, brutal training and the weight of his family’s expectations, Santi’s journey is anything but easy. But with heart, determination and the love of the game, he’s willing to sacrifice everything to wear the green jersey of El Tri or play for a big soccer club in Europe.

A Detty December Love Story

A Detty December Love Story is a tale of love, longing, and emotional complexity that explores the raw vulnerability of two people caught in the fleeting magic of a Lagos holiday romance, torn between the reality of what’s to come and the depth of what they share. Ezinne, a fiercely independent woman who’s spent her life avoiding love and emotional entanglements. Her carefully constructed world is upended when she meets Chike, an irresistible Nigerian-Juju boy (IJGB) on vacation in Lagos for the festive season. What starts as an impulsive one-night stand sparks a whirlwind romance that forces Ezinne to confront feelings she’s spent years suppressing. In the vibrant chaos of Lagos’ festive season, Ezinne and Chike’s paths continue to cross at brunches, beach parties, and concerts, each encounter deepening their connection. Despite the undeniable chemistry between them, Ezinne is determined not to let her emotions get involved, knowing that Chike will soon leave for his life abroad. As much as she tries to push him away, Chike’s charm and sincerity wear down her defenses, making her question if this is something more than just a holiday fling. Chike, however, isn’t content with just being another chapter in her life. He’s falling for her, and he’s not ready to let go. As the days grow closer to his departure, Ezinne’s resolve begins to falter, but fear of heartache holds her back. With every kiss, every shared moment, and every tender word, their connection grows harder to ignore, leaving her torn between the certainty of their inevitable goodbye and the longing for something deeper that neither of them expected. Ezinne tries to convince herself that this is just a fleeting romance, a beautiful but transient chapter in her life. But Chike’s confession of love, followed by a final kiss before he leaves, changes everything. Can their love survive the distance? Or will the weight of goodbye leave their hearts shattered? In the end, the story asks: Does love have to end when the season does?
