THE STORY

About The Return of the Lost Striker

When André Brandão, son of famous NFL quarterback Thiago Brandão and former beauty queen Cristina, disappears in a devastating fire, the psychotic fan Dinho sees an opportunity to swap André for his own son, Vitor. Twelve years later, the two boys meet at soccer tryouts, where André surpasses Vitor. The Brandão family, unaware that André is their long-lost son, relentlessly attack him. They subject him to physical and mental torture, encouraged by their adopted son. Until they discover the shocking truth—André is the one they were looking for. The Brandão family then do everything to beg for forgiveness while Vitor and Dinho plot revenge.
