Shannon Klein is a small town girl with big city dreams. She wants nothing more than to leave her hometown of Whitefield, Connecticut, and move back to Boston, Massachusetts-where there seem to be endless possibilities for her career, social life, and love life. Kevin Browne is an undrafted defenseman looking to break into professional hockey. He gets a chance to show his stuff with the Whitefield Warriors, the AHL affiliate of the Hartford Gladiators, when they offer him a one-year, try-out contract. His only goal is to secure a future playing for the team so he can be one step closer to the NHL. Through a series of mishaps and well-timed encounters, Shannon and Kevin meet and quickly become friends-and maybe something more than friends, too. But they have to decide how much of their respective dreams they're willing to compromise in order to be together.
