Overview
USC quarterback Drayton Lahey lands in New York City as a Heisman hopeful, but it may turn out he’s not just there for football. Somewhere in the city is his former high school sweetheart, Dallas Bryan, who is building her new career, navigating her love life alongside Skyler, chasing her dreams, and not looking back. Now, in the city that never sleeps and with everything on the line, Drayton has one shot to prove he’s not just chasing a trophy, he’s chasing the one who got away.
