A thirty-five-year-old professional hockey player is rebuilding his life following a failed marriage and an old injury that threatens his career. With hockey as his primary focus, he decides to support the people around him, including helping a close friend with a predicament involving his twenty-one-year-old daughter, Billie Quinn. When the player sees Billie for the first time in over three years, he finds himself attracted to her despite his initial innocent intentions. Uncertain whether she reciprocates his feelings, he notices growing tension between them, complicated by the presence of his ex-wife. His teammates warn him to distance himself, but he struggles to stay away from his best friend's daughter. As their relationship develops, the player accepts the consequences of being with Billie and her child, even if it costs him his friendship.
