"Jack, this is Hiccup. He'll be helping you through your recovery."
Jackson Overland, nicknamed Jack Frost, is a hockey prodigy, and the ace player on the professional hockey team-The Guardians. Years of sacrifice, training, and raw talent brought him here: centre forward in the big leagues. His dream wasn't just alive-it was on fire.
But all it takes is one brutal game, one hit too hard, and everything he built threatens to come crashing down.
With his career hanging by a thread, Jack is paired with Hiccup Haddock-a sharp, compassionate medical student specializing in sports rehabilitation. What begins as a reluctant partnership turns into something deeper as Jack faces the slow, painful climb back from the edge.
For Jack, recovery is supposed to be fast. Efficient. Controlled. But nothing about this journey is. Not the pain. Not the setbacks. And definitely not the way Hiccup starts getting under his skin.
In a story about resilience, identity, and finding strength in vulnerability, Puck Drop explores what happens when your passion breaks you-and love starts putting you back together.
Jack finds out that falling in love is a lot like the moment right before a puck drop: fast, terrifying, exhilarating... and impossible to ignore.
