Jake Stehman
A Game as Old as Time
Gunner Weston seemed destined for greatness: a star quarterback on the brink of leading his high school team to a state championship, backed by his legendary father and coach. But when a single, fateful night upends his life, Gunner is left to face a future defined by loss and uncertainty, without the guiding force of the man who shaped his past.
Hailey Bianchi, once the radiant star of her high school musicals, is grappling with her own upheavals. With her Broadway-performing mother gone and her family uprooted to Central Pennsylvania due to her father’s controversial coaching job, Hailey finds herself in a small town steeped in grief and resentment.
When Gunner and Hailey’s lives collide, they are both forced to confront their identities and reassess their futures. Can Gunner rise to the man his father envisioned and help mend his fractured community? Can Hailey rediscover her passion for performing and find joy amidst her family's struggles? As their paths intertwine, they enter a game with no scoreboard or script, where the stakes are higher than ever, and no amount of practice or preparation can truly equip them or what lies ahead.
