Synopsis: Everyone from Didsbury High remembers Katie Fisher as the dumpy brainiac from the poor side of town.
Everyone from Didsbury High remembers Paul van Dorn as the school hockey star—and heartthrob.

Paul is reliving his glory days. Katie wishes she could put those years behind her. And the battle of wills that ensues just might knock love right out of the game…
