SEEKING 13 | Boys of Tommen
13 parts Ongoing MatureFor sixteen-year-old Molly Davis, hockey is more than a sport - it's her lifeline. Raised in a home shadowed by abuse and secrets, she clawed her way up through grit, discipline, and pure talent. Now, she's on the brink of making Canada's Olympic team, a dream she's chased since she first laced up her skates.
But before she takes that final leap, Molly chooses something unexpected - a year abroad at the prestigious Tommen College in Cork Ireland. It's a chance to breathe, to be a regular student for once, and maybe to figure out who she is when she's not chasing gold.
There, she meets Johnny Kavanagh - Ireland's star rugby outside centre, confident, brilliant, and just as ambitious as Molly. They connect instantly, both high-performance athletes with the same drive to win, the same loneliness masked by discipline. As their bond deepens, so does their future - until Molly discovers something that will change her life forever.
While Molly wrestles with the weight of this information and lost dreams, Johnny is hiding something too: complications from a recent surgery that threatens his career, and possibly his health. But he's not ready to let go of the only thing that's ever made him feel in control - not even for Molly.
Then a new student arrives: Shannon Lynch, mysterious, and effortlessly magnetic. She seems to slide seamlessly into both of their worlds. As secrets come to light and trust begins to crack, Molly is forced to question everything: her future, her relationship, and even her own strength.
