Rome has spent the last few months focusing on football and being haunted by his past. With a set of new rookies under his wing, he has earned the title of the team’s unofficial captain. When he sees Chrissy, feelings he managed to suppress come back into the light, and even though the pair want to explore the spark, they agree not to for the sake of Chrissy’s brother and his best friend.

When Chrissy’s summer psychology program and Rome’s football team partner up for a mentorship. The pair are forced to face the brutal truth—
