College freshman Shayne Ralston never expected to meet the man of his dreams on his first day of school, but star quarterback Desmond Stratton is a force to be reckoned with. Soon he slips past Shayne's reluctance and romances the shy history major. Des has a decision to make about his future. His family has been pushing him toward a professional football career for years, but Des also has dreams of being a doctor.  As his feelings for Shayne grow, Des's decision becomes more important than ever. Shayne is openly gay, and Des needs to remain in the closet if he wants a football career. Staying in the closet, however, could lose him the man he's fallen in love with.
