Spencer and Cooper just graduated high school. To celebrate, the two life long best friends head to Miami for a two week vacation. Having only enough money to make it to Miami and party for the two weeks, the young boys find themselves in an adult film studio. After agreeing to a scene with them and a girl the studio hired, they sat waiting patiently for the girls arrival. When she's mysteriously a no show, the studio offers them a different type of scene. One without the girl but twice the pay. Without money to get home, reluctantly the two "straight" best friends agree.

The trade had been sudden, the kind that no one had seen coming. But in a sport like hockey, trades were part of the game. And for Rainier Colton, the enforcer, the bruiser, the player who had spent years being passed around like an afterthought, it was just another day in the life. It had been a hard decision, but this time, there was no escape. The Vipers were sending him to the Devils, and there wasn't a thing he could do about it. He didn't want to go, but what was the alternative? He had nowhere to belong. He didn't belong anywhere. The trade was one more page in the story of his career-a career defined by being the "hired muscle," the guy who played hard and left everything on the ice. What he wasn't prepared for, though, was Ambrose Wheaton. Ambrose was the captain of the Devils-dominant, confident, everything Rainier wasn't. He was a natural leader, the kind of player who made his team feel like a family. Ambrose was known for his strength, his presence, and his unwavering care for his teammates. Rainier? He was the outsider. The loner. The guy who kept his distance. But there was something in Ambrose's gaze when he first saw Rainier. A challenge, an invitation, something that made Rainier's pulse quicken, even if he wasn't ready to admit it.

In the heart of Chicago, where basketball is more than a game-it's a way of life-two high school seniors are playing for more than just scholarships. Jalen "Jay" Carter and Malik "Mal" Thompson have spent years on the same team, sharing victories, losses, and an unspoken rivalry. Jay is the golden boy, a coach's favorite with a near-flawless record, while Mal is the underdog with something to prove, playing with the weight of the world on his shoulders. On the court, they push each other to be better. Off the court, things get complicated. Late-night practices turn into stolen glances, heated arguments spark something deeper, and the pressure of their futures forces them to face feelings they never expected.
