Openly gay prodigy wide receiver Eli Reyes transferred to Ashford University under pressure from sponsors, only to reunite there with Damon Cross, his secret former lover who left without a word a year earlier. Damon is the star quarterback of the school team and a top prospect for the professional league draft. To safeguard his future and the perfect image crafted by his legendary father, he publicly denies knowing Eli, even deliberately humiliating and ostracizing him. Yet whenever night falls, he loses control, holds Eli tight and begs him not to leave.
The coach discovers the two have an astounding passing chemistry, and forcibly pairs them as the offensive core. As their old flame rekindles, clandestine videos, a fake girlfriend and capital manipulation come one after another. Damon, in the name of so-called protection, pushes Eli back into the storm. It is not until Eli refuses to be a sacrificial victim any longer and uncovers that the mastermind behind everything is Damon's father Victor that the two decide to join forces to take back their lives. With four seconds left in the national championship game, Damon throws the ball into the end zone where no one else is, because he is certain Eli will be there. And this time, they will not hide in the dark anymore.
