When vice-captain Chase falsely accuses openly gay star rookie Oliver of sexual harassment in the locker room, closeted hockey team captain Julian watches coldly, allowing Oliver to be ostracized by the entire team.
However, late at night at the ice rink, Oliver unexpectedly stumbles upon Julian's relationship with equipment manager Toby.
At the same time, vice-captain Chase also discovers Julian's relationship with Toby. He records it and makes it public, leading the mockery and insults against Julian, and then, under the banner of purging the team, drives him out.
In Julian's darkest moment, Oliver not only refrains from kicking him when he is down, but also reaches out a hand to him. The two rivals on the ice join forces and fight their way out on the rink, sparking an uncontrollable forbidden chemistry.
