Diane Barrow, the new and inexperienced owner of her former husband's professional football franchise, struggles to gain a grasp on her roster and general manager, as running a team proves harder than anticipated with a score of outside influences discouraging her success.

He initially makes plans to leave for Tibet to become a monk but the rest of the team is determined to keep him on payroll.

The team is also facing a questionable situation in that a couple of their cheerleaders are being fired despite their intimate histories with the general manager who is hellbent on saving their jobs.

After several Bulls players attack a con man for scamming them, he threatens to sue the organization. This places Diane in a situation in which she may have to consider abandoning her morals and ask the Arcola gangsters for assistance against her better judgment.
