For almost five years, Russia's Ilya Rozanov and Canada's Shane Hollander have traded the life of being professional hockey players for a life together in their cottage in the forests. They no longer play for the Ottawa Centaurs, but the fans still cheer when the two appear at games as viewers. After their wedding, Shane and Ilya made a promise to open their home to children who needed one, and two months ago they officially adopted four year old Henry after fostering him for nearly a year. Life finally feels steady, family dinners and bedtime stories echoing through the house until a phone call from their social worker changes everything. Brent is fourteen, angry at the world, carrying a history of addiction, running away, and broken homes behind good grades nobody ever cared enough to notice. Every foster placement has given up on him. But Shane and Ilya don't believe in giving up on kids, and for the first time in Brent's life, someone might finally fight to keep him.
