Bax Knight’s star is on the rise. His rock band is finally on the radar of the music label of their dreams, but years of reining in the chaos of his bandmates is taking its toll on the easy-going drummer. He needs a distraction and finds it in the form of a flirtation with two hockey players that quickly leads to more.
Soren Lindstrom is on a mission. His dream is to play for hockey’s top league. Quirky and set in his ways, the goalie can’t deny the pull toward the drummer of his favorite band and the hockey forward he’s crushed on for years. Starting something with them fills a void he didn’t realize was empty, but threatens to scatters his focus from his game.
Tyler Moore is on his last chance. His hockey career has been riddled with injuries which kept him sidelined more often than being on the ice, and from connecting with teammates and fulfilling his dreams. Being traded to the Saint Paul Slash reunites him with Soren, introduces him to Bax, and gives him a taste of finally belonging.
Love changes everything, and as the game clock counts down and outside pressures mount, the trio must decide what they want, what matters most, and what they’ll do for their shot at winning it all.

Sage Murray has spent the last three years playing for the minor league Saint Paul Slash. He’s found a family in the teammates who share a home with him and they’ve helped him get a better handle on the anxiety he battles every day. Having the best season of his career, he hopes to receive a call up to the Minneapolis Metros and achieve his dream of playing in hockey’s top league. When a night out brings him face to face with Metros defenseman Rhys Farrell, their interaction spotlights their attraction, and Sage sees a side of Rhys that intrigues him to find out more.
Rhys Farrell has spent his career in the shadow of his Hall of Famer father. Winning the Cup would set him apart, and he wants more than anything to win it with the teammates who embraced him during his lowest moments. But an injured shoulder has kept him from the lineup, his teammates are dropping like flies, and their shot at redemption from last season’s heartbreaking loss is fading. During a short stint with the Slash as he readies to return to the team, he’s captivated by Sage, and for the first time in years, he’s tempted to focus on more than just hockey.
The pair are continually drawn to each other. Rhys gives Sage the warmth and acceptance he craves, and Sage takes care of Rhys in ways he’s never experienced before. But as the race to the playoffs heats up and sees them both in the Metros lineup, Rhys and Sage discover that dating a teammate is one thing, but falling in love with one is a whole other game.
