Summary
Taking course over fourteen years:
In 2004, Ilya is sent to live with his aunt and uncle in Ottawa after his father can't handle Ilya's emotions regarding the loss of his mother. It's fine, he thinks. He's good at hockey and still has a chance to make something of himself if he gets everything right.
Also in 2004, he also meets Shane, who is kind, confusing, and eager to be his friend.
By 2009, they're both drafted into the NHL.
By 2013, Ilya no longer has hockey. His once promising career has been swallowed by an all-consuming drug problem and a haunting memory of the love he had for someone who couldn't possibly want him anymore.

Summary
[Note: the first book of this story is 1.1-1.76 (first 75 chapters). So the first book is completed and done! The second book of this story begins at 2.1 (chapter 76) and is in progress.]
Shane scoffs, throwing his hands up. “I just want to figure this out. We have to live together, we should be—“
“We should be what?” Ilya laughs. “Braiding each other’s hair like girls, yes?”
“No. I just don’t think we need to be so hostile.
“I don’t like you,” Ilya says plainly. “You are irritating, and you are boring. In two years, we will be done with hockey and college, and neither of us will have existed to each other. Let it be that.”
(Or: Ilya Rozanov is a rich kid who has been kicked out of another university. His new university, while not bad, tries to give him a new roommate. Shane Hollander is a sweetheart who hasn't had an easy life after the loss of both of his parents. After doing some ugly things to make ends meet, all he wants is a normal, happy college experience and an education that would make his mom proud, while trying to balance the hideous things still chasing him.)
