Nathaniel Johnson is a closeted LGBT star goaltender for the Yellowvale Vikings of the Canadian Prairie Hockey League (CPHL). Keeping his secret is crushing him from the inside out. He feels that he has nowhere to turn in the league; nobody to turn to for support. To make matters worse, he's madly in love with the team's captain, Trevor Peterson. He can't catch a break.
Diana Poole is living a similar life. She's the team's number two defenceman. She's who she wants to be but still feels obligated to hide from the league. She starts developing feelings for Nathaniel and things get complicated really quickly.
Trevor Peterson is the team's dorky captain. He's been head over heels for Nathaniel ever since the first game they played together. The only problem? Trevor is straighter than an arrow.
The three strike up a friendship. One that helps Nathaniel break out of his shell and realize it doesn't matter what others think of you.
The only thing that matters is that you're happy and confident with yourself.
