On the night Paige Bueckers steps onto the court for the opening game of her senior season at UConn, she expects the usual nerves, cheers, and the pressure of living up to her legacy. What she doesn't expect is to lock eyes with Emily Carter, an eleven-year-old superfan beaming from the stands, or to meet her mother, Lauren, a 24-year-old single mom quietly carrying the weight of her own battles.
As Paige's season unfolds, what starts as autograph sessions and warm smiles turns into late-night conversations, unexpected comfort, and the kind of love Paige never thought she'd find in the middle of chasing her dream. With Emily adoring her both on and off the court, and Lauren slowly letting down walls she's built to protect herself, Paige finds herself playing the most important game yet-learning how to love a family that feels like home.
