When a new stepsister arrives with her mother, she immediately becomes the target of three hockey players' burning resentment—especially the brooding guy who's convinced she's destroyed everything he cares about. What starts as cold fury quickly becomes something far more complicated when he can't stop noticing the vulnerability beneath her icy exterior and begins questioning everything he believes about that fateful night. Caught between revenge and an undeniable attraction, he and his best friends find themselves entangled in a twisted game where the lines between punishment and protection blur dangerously. Buckle up for a tension-filled, emotional journey with a cliffhanger ending that'll leave you desperate for the next installment!
Reading soundtrack
Dark, sensual intensity with raw edge—moody trap and R&B vocals over heavy beats, industrial pop, and brooding alternative rock. Think possessive tension, midnight energy, and scorching chemistry. Artists like The Weeknd, Halsey, Bring Me The Horizon, and SZA. Intoxicating, dangerous, impossible to resist.
