When a professional hockey star glimpses his first love after a decade apart—and then literally crashes into the plexiglass before a game—he knows the universe is sending him a message. The problem? He's engaged to someone else, and Lennox Kennedy, the beautiful, loud woman who's haunted his heart all these years, is now planning his wedding. In a move that shocks everyone (probably including himself), he calls off the engagement and decides to go all-in on winning back the only girl he's ever truly loved. What follows is a hilarious, swoon-worthy second-chance romance where this cocky hockey legend discovers that his greatest challenge isn't dominating on the ice—it's convincing Lennox that he's worth another shot.
Reading soundtrack
Steamy indie-pop and R&B with raw energy—think passionate vocals, electric guitar riffs, and sensual beats. Mix confident anthems with vulnerable slow-burns. Include artists like The Weeknd, Hozier, and SZA. Capture that intensity of second chances, forbidden desire, and adrenaline-fueled romance.
