Evie Monroe has just been promoted to coordinator at the local hockey center for kids, but her first day in the new role starts off ugly. Her alcoholic mother calls sobbing about two months of back rent. When Evie tells her she doesn't have the money, she switches from pleas to curses. Seconds after Evie hangs up, her ex-boyfriend Derek sends a photo of him getting engaging to the girl he introduced to her as just a "colleague". Derek mocks her for spending all her time with kids and calls her hopeless. She arrives at work emotionally drained, and then she gets called into an emergency meeting. The hockey center president shows a viral clip of NHL star Tristan Sterling smashing a kid's phone after a regular season loss. He has been suspended and has to observe a one-month service at hockey center Evie coordinates. What the president doesn’t know is that Tristan and Evie were coursemates back in college. Tristan was Evie's crush and she once tutored him on a stats course, but he never paid attention to her. Tristan arrives expecting to serve his thirty-day service and escape back to his luxury life, but forced proximity with the women he once ignored threatens to melt his frozen heart. He realizes for the first time that winning means nothing if he loses the people who matter. With jealous exes, leaked secrets, and Tristan's behaviour, Evie must decide whether she can risk her heart on this man or bury her feelings once again.
