Permission Granted

Synopsis

After years of hiding their relationship, Mikhail Sorokin and Declan Rowe are finally living openly—married, playing for the same team, the Glenhaven Vanguards, and building a home together with their dog, Nika. But being seen comes with its own challenges. Mikhail Sorokin has spent his entire life burying his emotions. Raised in Muskovia to hide what he feels, the star forward still struggles to ask for what he needs, even from the man he loves most. With encouragement from his therapist Katya, he makes a choice that changes everything: he wants to love Declan openly, proudly, and without fear. Declan has spent years protecting his carefully controlled public image, and Mikhail's fearless devotion is both thrilling and terrifying. As they face their first season together, old rivalries, public pressure, and the expectations placed on them threaten to pull them apart. But the hardest battles are not always fought on the ice. To build the future they want, Mikhail and Declan must learn that vulnerability is not weakness, and that choosing each other may be the greatest victory of all.
