Oakville, 2017.
A girl with ice in her blood.
A boy with wings on his back.
Elizabeth Lockis, former hockey captain, returns to Oakville after a year in Australia, haunted by the shadow of a vanished title and the weight of her name erased from the school history.
Samuel Devalson, one of the brightest rising volleyball stars, hides behind a title that masks his true self, with sarcasm as his shield and a smile as his sword in the battle of every day.
She plays hockey like a war.
He uses volleyball as prayer
And somewhere in their separate worlds they find something they never planned on:
Each other.
Secrets, rivalries. A game no one wins without scars.
For them, Oakville isn't just a town.
It's the place where everything broke, and maybe, just maybe, where they can start again.
