By Episode 5, the pressure has reached a boiling point. The fictionalized version of Sergio Jadue (the young, ambitious president of the Chilean Football Federation) finds himself trapped between two giants: the charmingly ruthless South American football chief and the US federal prosecutors who are slowly closing in.
