Theo Kramer has spent most of his freshman year at Seabreeze State struggling to be the school's biggest screw-up: late nights trying to hook up with down low frat boys at keg parties, even later mornings skipping classes, but now he's back on track: literally running around the campus intramural track to get his old mojo back and start fresh, one stumbling, hungover step at a time. When he literally runs into a long, lean, track star machine, Theo can't help but feel his heart race, and not just from getting back in shape!
Henry Chambers has just been dropped from the track team, for hitting on the coach's son, no less. Disgraced, disgusted with himself, and downtrodden, he seeks solace by running around the only track he's allowed on these days: the intramural one bordering the freshman dorms. When a big lug stumbles into him one morning, smelling like a keg but looking like sex on legs, Henry can't resist the former running back's charms, or the offer to run with him for the rest of the semester.
But will their newfound attraction buy the happily ever after both boys have been chasing since heading to college? Or is it just another mirage on the hot, dusty track ahead, always out of reach?
