"High school seniors Julian Jackson and Elijah Vance reconnect on the football field after three years apart, learning to both trust and love each other again"-- Julian Jackson's to-do list for his senior year at Crenshaw County High School in Meridian, Texas: football, football, and more football. It's his only chance to earn a college scholarship and make it out of his small town. Football, and keeping his head down, his grades up, and his cleats on the field. And then Elijah Vance walks back into his life, throwing all of his carefully-laid plans into a tailspin. Three years ago Elijah broke into the school to steal money from the coach's office, and Julian was the one who turned him in. Time and distance haven't erased all of their feelings, and Elijah knows that he finally has a chance to prove to Julian that he's not the same person he was three years ago. But with secrets still growing between them, it may be harder to lean on each other than they thought. -- adapted from jacket
