    Summary

    An escalating Cold War between the United States and Canada forces the NHL to dissolve into two separate organizations, offering players the chance for Reassignment to clubs in their homes countries.

    For Quinn Hughes, the choice should seem obvious. He can go home, go to New Jersey and his brothers like everyone’s been speculating. But it isn’t easy, and the America he grew up in is a place he no longer recognizes, neither is Jack.

    With a fanbase and locker room that start to turn on him, and a looming international competition between Team USA and Team Canada, Quinn’s loyalty to his family, country, and team are tested.

    It isn’t just hockey. It never has been. The game he grew up loving will never be the same again.
