Amsterdam's world-class football team Ajax player Edwin 'Eddie' Kuijpers is murdered on the field. It's unclear which deals his (former) and ambitious bench-understudy Mohnir Amound's manager Sjaak Salomons actually made, possibly for a transfer to Manchester United. Edwin's identical twin Robin has debts with coach-bookie Lex Hamer, who claims Eddie vouched for him. The brothers' winding love-life further complicates things.
