She's from the wrong side of Galway.
He's the boy everyone already knows.
Nancy Kelly has spent most of her life learning how to stay quiet. Growing up in Ballyroe and coming from a broken household has taught her that kindness only makes things harder. After years of bullying, transferring to Riverstone College feels like her last chance at a fresh start.
Kian Murphy has never struggled to belong. Raised in Dublin with money, talent, and confidence, he moves through Riverstone with ease - shining on the pitch and carrying a future everyone expects him to live up to. Galway wasn't his choice, but it hasn't stopped him from becoming one of the school's stars.
When Nancy and Kian cross paths, their connection is unexpected but immediate. Kian feels drawn to protect her, while Nancy finds herself trusting someone she never thought would notice her. But between Kian's busy life and growing pressure, and Nancy's unstable home that won't let her heal, their relationship is tested before it even has a chance to settle.
Sometimes a fresh start brings the one thing you weren't ready for.
