A second-chance, opposites-attract romance between Ryan Price, a towering NHL enforcer who quietly battles anxiety and self-doubt, and Fabian Salah, the flamboyant musician he had a crush on in high school. After a trade lands Ryan in Toronto's Gay Village, the two reconnect and Fabian becomes both Ryan's guide into queer community life and a catalyst for him to confront whether hockey is worth the toll it's taking on his body and mind. It's a tender, character-driven story about vulnerability, found family, and learning to be gentle with yourself.
