Ella Hayes is permanently stuck in the friendzone, written off as just "one of the lads" by the star of her uni's football team, Rhys Becker. Desperate to attract his attention, and finally get her first real boyfriend, she turns to the one guy who knows him best-her childhood friend, Sylas James. He agrees to give Ella the insider playbook on how to catch Rhys's eye-but as the coaching sessions drag their shared childhood history back to the surface, their arrangement begins to unravel.
