Jasper moves through campus with quiet independence, his skateboard and alternative style setting him apart from the crowd. Cole, the star defenseman of the D1 hockey team and a prominent fraternity member, appears to have everything under control-popular, confident, and living up to every expectation placed on him. When a victory celebration at a crowded frat party brings them together, an intense and unexpected connection forms between them. What begins as a single night of lowered inhibitions quickly becomes something far more complicated. Both young men carry hidden burdens and carefully maintained facades, and as their lives begin to intertwine, the pressure to keep their worlds separate grows. In a place where reputation and performance are everything, some truths are harder to hide than others. As the ice beneath them starts to crack, Jasper and Cole are forced to confront who they really are-and what they're willing to risk for the chance to be seen.
