元光（樸熙順）是曾備受矚目的前足球明星，但現在卻淪落為騙子，現在能讓他最後一次逆轉人生的地方就是內戰混亂的東帝汶。夢想在那裡賣咖啡來賺大錢的元光再次被人欺騙，大使館職員仁基（高昌錫）勸這位前足球明星回國。正當他去機場的路上，他人生里的最後一次機會出現了，他看到在荒涼的土地上赤腳踢球的一群孩子們。 “給孩子們賣運動鞋”，這個有點可愛的想法促使元光開了足球用品店，他和沒錢買運動鞋的孩子們簽下每天還一美金的兩個月分期合約。但是他們的合約變成世界上最難遵守的諾言。渴望加入足球隊的孩子們努力去賺錢，但是一天一美元對他們來說是巨款。結果孩子們依依不捨地把運動鞋還了回來，元光也決定關掉店。但是元光的心裡仍有不捨，發誓再也不去觸球的元光這一次為了孩子們想堅持到底，於是成立了足球隊…。
