At seventeen, Jace Walker is the closest thing Westbrook High has to a hometown celebrity. He's the face on every sports poster, the reason the bleachers fill on Friday nights, and the name people remember long after graduation. But reputations are easy to build when nobody sees what happens after the crowd leaves. Behind the victories, scholarships, and endless expectations is a boy running out of time, money, and excuses. Then one unexpected person starts paying attention. Not to the athlete. Not to the reputation. To him. And suddenly keeping his life separate from hers becomes a lot harder than winning games.
