Cincinnati, Ohio, lives and dies by college basketball, with two elite Division I rivals separated by a mere three miles. Rory’s dad has just become the coach at the University of Cincinnati, which means moving yet again–this time to her dad’s hometown. Rory’s life revolves around basketball; she’s never had a close friend outside of it. Could this be a chance for a fresh start? Abby has always lived in Cincinnati, where her dad grew up playing ball and now coaches at Xavier University. But Abby has recently retreated from basketball after a confidence-shattering season. It feels like she’s on the outside looking in when it comes to her former teammates, and she could seriously use a new friend. When Abby shows Rory around on her first day of school, the two connect over their shared love of the game. But after Abby’s dad practically forbids their friendship because of something that happened between him and Rory’s dad when they were younger, Abby and Rory have no choice but to hide their budding friendship. As tensions rise on and off the court, will Abby and Rory be able to get to the bottom of what went down between their dads in the 1990s? Or will history repeat itself and tear the two friends apart?
