   Summary

   Ilya Rozanov boards a plane putting more distance between him and his father and the pressure of life in Russia.

   Shane Hollander boards the same plane with a carefully planned routine and excitement over a break from his sometimes overbearing, but always loving Mother.

   Somewhere between Toronto and Vancouver they discover they have a lot in common and become friends.

   They were supposed to be rivals. They were not supposed to fall for each other. Too bad nobody told them that.
