George Dryer (Gerard Butler) is a former professional Scottish Association Football player who played for Celtic F.C., Liverpool F.C., A. C. Milan, D.C. United and the Scotland national football team, and is largely seen as a "has been". His attempts to raise money by selling his former Sports memorabilia and become a sports announcer are largely met with ambivalence. George's relationship with his son Lewis (Noah Lomax) is equally unsuccessful due to his only seeing Lewis sporadically. When he discovers that his ex-wife Stacie (Jessica Biel) is getting married to her boyfriend Matt (James Tupper), George grows despondent.
