Then Zeke and Olivia collide - literally - on the first day of the games, and something unexpected begins.

But the competition is stirring up uncomfortable memories from Zeke's past. And Olivia's dream job is turning into a nightmare.

Will love become a hurdle? Or could running beside the right person change the whole game?
