On the eve of the 2002 FIFA World Cup, Ireland’s campaign is thrown into turmoil when captain Roy Keane walks away from the national squad at their training base in Saipan after a bitter clash with manager Mick McCarthy. Set over the tense days leading up to his departure, the film examines a collision of ambition, leadership, and loyalty, as preparation for a historic tournament gives way to personal grievance and public fallout. More than a football story, it captures a defining rupture in Irish sporting culture, where conviction, pride, and authority collide under the weight of expectation.
