She must carry her grief while adjusting to her new home - away from everything she knows and loves in Jamaica - and living with her strict aunt. Kadeen must lie low, as if she's recognised, she'll put them both in serious danger. Desperate for a distraction, Kadeen practises football in the local park where she's asked to try out for a girls' team. Kadeen thinks her aunt won't approve, so she keeps it secret, and finds herself part of a new family: the SW2s. But when Aunt Mel finds out, she is furious and bans Kadeen from playing.
