Everyone has their motive. Be it money, fame, love, or simply for one's own enjoyment, every person posses that one desire, that one incentive for which they will do almost anything to obtain.
For Mitchell Owens, that desire is an exit, an escape endless monotony that has over the years become his life. Working a dead end job and with dwindling hopes of ever being able to pay his way through college, the only thing that Mitch wants is for it all to end.
When that ending arrives, however, it is far from what he had expected. Now, after a chance meeting with a peculiar stranger who possesses the ability to turn his entire existence upside down, he finally gets the change that he has so desperately wanted for so long.
But what he gets may be a whole lot more than he bargained for.
**ORIGINAL VERSION, NO LONGER ACTIVE BUT COMPLETED**
*spoilers if you are reading current version*
Jake Mitchell wanted nothing more than to be the nameless guy you pass on the way to your afternoon chemistry lecture every Friday. Familiar, but unknown at the same time. Just enough recognition to remember, but knowing so little that you make up stories for him in your head. That's the only reason he took the offer from Everett University to be a left-wing forward on their Division 1 hockey team. A forgotten team really. Dead last in their league and close to dead last in the division. It was just something to help pay the tuition, but nothing much to get any recognition. He gets to keep playing hockey, he can afford to go to an out-of-state school, and he can remain unknown. It's his perfect game plan.
Or well it was.
Until the worst possible series of events happens. The team wins their first game in 13 years, shocked fans catch Jake talking to a popular pro player after a game, and an unfortunate tweet blows up. All leading to Jake's face being plastered on every Twitter feed, Instagram story, and social media outlet that you can think of. His worst nightmare comes to life in real time.
Now with the help of his team, he has to figure out how to deal with his newfound fame while trying to get his bachelor's in chemical engineering and win as many damn hockey games as he possibly can before time runs out and he has to run again.
Except, maybe this time he won't have to.
