Tom Coleman and his best mate Lavender Gibson are pupils of Greenhill School and leaders of a bunch of wacky teenage idealists. Together they learn to take whatever fate has to throw at them – and throw it back. Whether it's turning a deadbeat soccer team into a well-oiled winning machine, putting on a play, or just plain growing up, they conspire to let no evil bully, soccer coach, adult-in-general or kid-in-particular, get in their way.

The first four episodes are based on the novel 'The Worst Soccer Team Ever' by William Taylor. The other four episodes are based on Taylor's 'Break a Leg.'
