Cyrus Goodman has perfected the art of observing life from the sidelines. As the best friend to Andi and Buffy, he's happy navigating high school drama, running the school paper, and quietly nursing a crush on TJ Kippen, the enigmatic captain of the basketball team. Cyrus knows exactly how to play his role: supportive, witty, and safely out of the spotlight. But life is about to throw a few fast breaks his way. His fierce, unapologetically competitive friend, Buffy Driscoll, has set her sights on a new goal: joining the boys' basketball team. She's got the talent and the drive, but she's facing skepticism and outright resistance-especially from some of the players, including TJ. As Buffy fights for her place on the court, Cyrus finds himself caught in the middle. He's navigating the confusing, electric signals TJ is suddenly sending his way, while also staunchly backing his best friend against the very team TJ leads. Can Cyrus step into the game, on and off the court, without letting his heart get broken? And when it comes to love, friendship, and challenging the rules, sometimes you have to shoot your shot.
