The Stanley Cup Play-offs are in full swing. The Cleveland Crusaders are favorites to win, led by superstar Lucas Reilly. Lucas dreams of winning the prestigious trophy. His other dream is to play in the NHL with his kid brother, Eric. The Hartford Hellcats call up Eric from the minor leagues after an injury to another player. 

The brothers face each other in the play-offs. Lucas accidentally injures Eric, leading to his third concussion. Lucas accepts his league suspension. He returns a changed player, haunted by the hit. Eric struggles with recovery, with help from their parents and Chantal, his former girlfriend. 

The Crusaders reach the finals with a struggling Lucas. He is indifferent to winning. His focus is on Eric, whom he eventually visits. Eric contemplates the risk of more concussions and thoughts of retirement.

Love Factually #JustWriteIt by Jenna_lives

"I'm not saying that I have a bad life, but if you were to write a story with me in the lead role, it would certainly be a tragedy." When I said that there was no way that my life could possibly get any worse, I was kidding. I didn't actually expect the universe to take it as a challenge to make me eat those words. But, they did. And I did. And now we're here, straddling the lines of sanity and that other thing that I was most definitely headed straight for. I mean, having your boyfriend of three years dump you without reason, was one thing but having to watch him get married to your twin sister was an entirely different story. And this is mine.
