Striker is the story of a young football player, Parson Joshi, whose father, once a top scorer in the Calcutta League is completely sidelined after being accused by the club he played for of deliberately throwing the winning goal.
As a young player struggling to make his mark, Parson not only has to battle the ruthless exploitation of the football clubs, his family's straitened financial circumstances, and his own development as a player, but he has also to exorcise his father's ghosts. Stopper, on the other hand, is the story of the much older Kamal Guha, a veteran player with an eclectic record, now playing the final game of his career.
