What Before We Break: Playing Dirty is about

Alexa is hockey-obsessed, and she hands her boyfriend Jeremy the tip his team, the Bears, needs to beat Hudson Cross and the Wolves. She hopes he'll finally keep his promise to help her play co-ed hockey. Instead, he tells her a girl could never make the team, and she calls it quits. Then she overhears Hudson and his teammates talking about Alex Trevor, a rookie their coach has been watching. With her best friend's help, she joins the Wolves disguised as Alex.

Her plan is simple: prove girls can play and beat Jeremy on the ice. She doesn't plan on falling for Hudson, who keeps helping Alex train even after losing his captaincy. It's a sporty mix of revenge and enemies-to-lovers romance among student athletes, with a secret that could cost her both hockey and Hudson.

Why watch it

  • A hidden-identity setup where one slip could cost Alexa her spot and Hudson.
  • Satisfying revenge aimed at an ex who said girls can't play hockey.
  • Enemies-to-lovers romance with Hudson, the rival who helps her train anyway.
