Some connections are written in the stars. Others have to be fought for on the field.

Lacrosse defender Wes Harrison is searching for more than just his place on the Buffalo Outlaws roster-he's seeking the belonging that's always felt just out of reach in the Haudenosaunee community his mother mysteriously left behind.

Chelsea John has plans for her Single Girl Era: rebuild her confidence, grow as an elite player, and never again lose herself in someone else's orbit. After a toxic man belittled her at every turn, she's determined to rediscover her light on her own.

After challenging each other on the lacrosse field, Wes and Chelsea find their initial spark impossible to ignore. He makes her laugh until her sides ache, champions her dreams, and treats her like the center of every ancient star story. When they play together on the international stage, their budding friendship ignites and Chelsea must face her greatest obstacle: believing she deserves someone who loves her for her authentic self.

As they navigate stolen moments amongst the healing power of their ancestral game, Wes must prove he's not just passing through her sky.

Because Chelsea won't settle for a trick play.
