After many years of intensive training, meticulously exercising and managing his diet, he feels ready to start his career as a professional player.

With the transfer window fast approaching and the team’s manager putting him under vicious surveillance, including his first romantic relationship being forbidden, Erik hits an emotional low that forces him to rethink his identity and declining mental health.
