21 Thunder - Season 1 (2017)

In the viciously competitive world of pro soccer, a club lives and dies by the stars on its under-21 team. They are the future and lifeblood of any franchise, but most will never make it. 21 Thunder is the story of the Montreal Thunder U21 team, and the players and coaches who risk it all for their dreams. The series follows the team's star players on and off the field: striker and former gang-member, Nolan Gallard; brilliant, newly arrived African midfielder, Junior Lolo; fierce defender and playboy, Stefan Arnaud; and team captain, goalie and academic prodigy, Alex el Haddadi. Together they strive under notorious coach Albert Rocas to win games for the club, and a future for themselves. Coaches enlisted to help Rocas are: Christy Cook, Olympic soccer hero seemingly forced on the team for PR reasons; and Davey Gunn, former English football superstar on the run from both the paparazzi and his past. 21 Thunder is a story of love, crime, race, sex and athletic glory. But at its core, it's about how a group of players and coaches unite as family in the whirlwind that is life one step from the pros. A CBC series.
