Alex Loren has always known what he wants and he's not afraid to get it. Things are going great for him. He's training for qualifiers and might even go to the Olympics. Lucky for him, he's been handpicked by one of the best trainers in the United States to join a team of prestigious swimmers, some of whom are guaranteed to be representing the country in the most important sports event in the world. Not just that, but his best friend from high school, Brooks Zhang, is also there. Being in Detroit is already a dream come true for Alex and he knows that things can only get better. Brooks Zhang isn't quite as ambitious as his best friend, but being in Detroit and training for qualifiers is also a dream come true for him. He doesn't expect to get as far as the Olympics, and if he does, by some miracle, he doesn't expect to be a medalist at all. One thing both Brooks and Alex agree on is that they are glad to have each other. Until things start getting complicated. Alex soon realizes that what he thought were congenial feelings toward his childhood best friend may be more than that. Which would be fine, except that Brooks is straight and he's not going to be interested in Alex in that way. Alex has to decide what matters most to him: his friendship with Brooks or his feelings for him. While Alex tries to make a decision, Brooks has to deal with his own changing feelings toward his best friend. And as strong as their bond is, they might not be able to survive scheming teammates, a coach who seems to have ulterior motives, and getting through to qualifiers. At least not together.
