The 2 wonderkids
By @HYunjin
Liam Carter and Jaxon Hayes, two prodigious talents, are on a collision course to define the next era of football. Liam, fueled by a searing ambition to escape his impoverished past and the shadows of a family fractured by gambling debts, sees Jaxon as his ultimate rival and ticket to salvation. Jaxon, a golden boy with an equally volatile temper, carries the hidden burden of an abusive father, his perfect facade a desperate shield. Their rivalry, born on the muddy pitches of youth, ignites into a global spectacle, but the pressures of fame warp their world. As whispers of drug use, illicit betting, and moral compromises begin to circulate, their intertwined fates are pushed to the brink. Will their shared passion for the beautiful game survive the dark underbelly of professional sports, or will the very industry they dominate consume them both?
