Jake Treasure loves football - and so would his dad, if he wasn't working all the time.
When Jake and his dog go into the woods in search of their football, a lucky shot by Jake changes everything.
But can a cranky parrot and his ghostly owner rescue the town's football club, and make things right for Jake ... both on and off the pitch?
