Some people never get a second chance. But if you do….make it count.
This story isn't just about college, or hockey, or queer chaos.
It's about the after…
after the dream breaks,
after the spotlight fades,
after you lose the version of yourself you thought was worth loving.
Benny used to spin on ice, chasing medals and applause.
Then the world stopped clapping.
He fell, hard….off the rink, out of school, out of everything that made sense.
But sometimes the universe is cruel and kind at the same time.
Sometimes it takes everything… then hands you something stranger….a second chance.
A chance to live again.
To love again.
To rewrite the story that ended too soon.
He woke up in another man's life.
With another man's heartbeat.
And somehow, beneath all the confusion and chaos, he found something worth staying for.
Because love never dies.
It just finds a new body to remember you in.
The ice remembers.
It always does.
