Pratt stops everything. Sully starts it.
Goalie Brock Pratt has built his life on control.
For six seasons, he’s been the Chicago Ironhawks’ starting goalie—precise, disciplined, untouchable. His routines are fixed. His world is ordered. It’s the system that keeps him at the top of his game.
Sully O’Reilly is an unplanned variable.
A late-night bartender with a loud apartment, an easy smile, and a habit of showing up at Pratt’s door at exactly the wrong time, Sully doesn’t fit anywhere in his carefully structured life. He talks too much. Laughs too loud. Stays too long.
And somehow, he gets in anyway.
It starts with a mistake—Sully walking into the wrong condo—and doesn’t stop there.
Because Sully doesn’t just disrupt the routines. He sees past them.
And Pratt, in turn, starts to notice what Sully keeps moving to avoid.
As the Ironhawks push toward the playoffs, the pressure tightens. On the ice, the system has always held. Off the ice, it starts to fail.
Because when Sully’s past catches up with him, he doesn’t fight. He fades.
And for the first time in his career, Pratt wants something he can’t control—and has no system to fall back on.
Now he has to decide what matters more: holding the line, or letting someone in.
Because love doesn’t follow rules.
It asks to be chosen.
