Raised in the freezing bleachers of a small-town Canadian arena, alternative punk-rocker Lana Miller spent her childhood being babysat by a local hockey team while her mother worked double shifts. Years later, her older brother Zach runs the high school social food chain as a popular power forward, while Lana rules the outcast "Steps to Nowhere" with her DIY raccoon-striped hair and fiercely independent attitude. But the bridge between their two completely separate worlds is Cole Keller—Zach’s best friend, a tactical defenseman, and the school's rumored, untouchable "ladies' man." To Lana, Cole is just another arrogant jock, but his reputation is a total defensive shield. In reality, Cole has been hopelessly in love with Lana since they were kids, secretly tracking her movements and keeping her childhood habits alive from behind the locker room code. When the friction between the jocks and the alt kids inevitably boils over, the years of hidden protection, silent pining, and unspoken history threaten to shatter the brotherhood keeping them all together.
