A character-based thriller set in the world of elite professional football
- without any actual football. A blue-collar family drama with heart and
soul, intertwined with a conspiracy around the deals, double-crosses and
corruption that take place in this multi-billion dollar global business.
This is THE WINDOW.
Told through an ensemble cast, the series eschews the on-field action, choosing
instead to explore the rich, dark circus surrounding the sport the world loves and
loathes. Lifting the lid not only on the mindsets of players but also the complex
psychologies and motivations of agents, administrators, governing bodies,
broadcasters and journalists in the cut-throat ecosystem of world football.
The series begins at the end of the English Super League (ESL) season.
The champions have been crowned. The relegated teams drop down a
division. And of course, the Transfer Window opens.
Across ten episodes THE WINDOW charts one summer in the life of Jordan
Burdett, a humble 17-year-old Wunderkind with a golden touch who has
gate-crashed Liverpool-based Merseyside Athletic’s first team. Twelve goals
in eight games have put him in a position where the world is at his feet.
Wrestling for control of Jordan’s destiny is Kieran Burdett, his street-smart
big brother, and Romulus Daglis, a waning big-time agent with a dark
heart, working for Sceptre Sports Agency. What starts out as a tug of war
over a young lad’s first professional contract becomes entwined with a
bigger, darker story that threatens the soul of the beautiful game itself.
