After an injury forces him out of professional soccer, Phil takes a job as a history teacher—putting his degree to use. However, he is soon fired for his overly radical teaching methods. Desperate to earn money for surgery and return to the sport, Phil decides to work as a private tutor. But then, he finds himself responsible for the 13-year-old son of a crime boss named Lemur. Now, Phil must not only mentor Makar—a budding young sociopath who dreams of a life in the mafia—but also help Dasha, the local police officer’s daughter, get into MGIMO, all while facing her father's opposition.
