Lilian and Keller are as about as different as two people can be. Lilian--awkward, unpopular, and independent-- is the president of the academic decathlon team and a member of the local chapter of Catholics On Campus; Keller, on the other hand, is the star quarterback: popular, athletic, and addicted to attention. He's also dealing with a crisis: the disbandment of the high school football team, his only sure-shot way to college. The two of them live in different universes, content with never crossing paths...
That is, until the two of them are thrown together to start the school's very first Girl's Powder Puff team, where for the first time in the school's history, the girls will be tossing the pigskin around on the field and the guys cheering on the sidelines.
Lilian and Keller are an unlikely team, and even unlikelier friends, as they butt heads, they find out they are far more alike than they thought. But when two people are forced to see each other in a new light, there's no telling what can happen. And even an independent, nerdy girl and a popular, needy jock can find that they can maybe fit together perfectly, or fall apart even more spectacularly.
Madeleine O'Brien, half Irish, half French, 4.9 GPA, MVP on all her teams , recently moved to Boston and wants to get to MIT as quickly as possible.
Matthew Brown, half American, half Irish, 4.4 GPA, captain and QB of the football team, recently orphaned and wants to leave the past behind him.
When the QB and the school's new girl unexpectedly meet and are thrown into a new life where they meet at every corner, and yes, they both have their pasts and their secrets but really what's one more?
