Dan Fletcher has spent years trying to fit in with "the lads" at The Gooner's Arms, his local Arsenal pub in Kentish Town. He's always been the quiet one, the hanger-on, tolerated but never truly one of them. When his bubbly, gobby wife Holly agrees to join him for a big match, he thinks it's his chance to finally belong.

But from the moment Holly walks through the door, everything changes. Mason, Jay, and Robbo; the three alpha regulars who run the pub on match days - notice her immediately. What starts as harmless banter and cheeky flirting quickly spirals into something darker, hotter, and far more dangerous.

A bet here, a dare there, a hand lingering too long on her thigh. Holly's loving the attention, and Dan… Dan's harder than he's been in years. He tells himself it's just the lads being lads, just a laugh, just banter. But when Mason's hand slides under her skirt and Dan does nothing to stop it, they both know the truth: this is what they've been craving all along.

Over five explosive match days, Holly transforms from bored housewife to the lads' shared plaything, and Dan discovers that watching his mates take ownership of his wife is the filthiest, most humiliating, most addictive thrill of his life. By the final whistle, the rules have changed forever, and neither Dan nor Holly can pretend they want to go back.
