Aron wants to proe to his family that soccer can be a career, and Luis wants it to open doors to further opportunities. Houston United follows the soccer team at Margaret Long Wisdom High School in Houston, TX, made up of 24 players from 12 different countries. Many are immigrants who have fled war, gang violence, and poverty. As they compete for the state title, some must face the anxiety of being undocumented in America, alongside challenges on the pitch.
