Hockey star Kyle Murphy pursues matchmaker Marissa with the same single minded purpose that she pursues him- except that he wants her for himself and she wants him for someone else!

Matchmaker Marissa Collins needs to grow her database of high-end dating prospects if she wants to retain her demanding client list.

Marissa only sees him as a prospect for her stable full of commitment-minded single women, so Kyle has to make a new play to get her to see him in a new light. It's a tied game poised for a shootout. Can playmaker Kyle find a way for them both to win?
