Troy Barrett's career hits rock bottom when he gets traded to the worst team in professional hockey. The move comes after a messy breakup and a public scandal that he wants to forget. Troy plans to keep his head down and play hockey, but the team has other ideas. They assign him to work with Harris Drover, their energetic social media manager, to rebuild his public image. Troy resists the collaboration at first, making no effort to hide his frustration with the trade or his new situation. Harris sees through Troy's defensive walls and refuses to give up on him, even as he develops feelings he assumes are unrequited. When Troy finally lets his guard down and shows his real personality, Harris knows he's found someone worth fighting for. Their professional relationship shifts into something deeper, but Troy faces a choice between keeping their connection private or risking everything by going public with Harris.
