It's difficult to find the way everything fits into place once it's broken, even if a surgeon gives you a pretty significant first push. Alexia's recovery is progressing with hope. Her knee is responding well to rehabilitation, but she doesn't feel the same way. Things have changed. She doesn't have the same touch, the same class, the same magic. Amidst the spiral of anxiety and self-uncertainty she finds herself in, just before returning to training with the club, she meets Mia, a part-time waitress too tired to keep searching for a job in what she is passionate about. Alexia needs a helping hand, a breath of fresh air, a new chapter in her life and a vacancy in the club that only Mia could dream of could bring them closer than ever, but at what price? How far would you be willing to go for love?
