When Ari Shumba and Drew Dlamini meet on New Year's Eve, neither one is looking to fall in love.

Ari's the reluctant new captain of Team GB's women's ice hockey team, anxiously preparing for the Winter Olympics. And after dropping out of college to handle a family crisis, Drew's desperately trying to salvage his photography career.

The chemistry is instant, but with both of their lives spinning out of control, they know a relationship would end in disaster. So, as the clock counts down to midnight, they spill their messiest secrets and most alarming red flags, thinking that they'll never see each other again...

Until they accidentally cross paths at the Winter Games.

As toxic exes and fraught family dynamics threaten to sabotage the most important competition of their lives, they hatch an emergency plan to fake date and photograph their way through the Games. After all, there's no risk of falling in love if it is doomed from the start... right?
