Who Is Demi?

Synopsis

When Ethan Prescott, captain of the Halcyon Mountaineers, drunkenly tells a bar patron that he wanted to celebrate his second consecutive trophy win with "Demi", a viral video sends the internet into a frenzy. Within minutes, #FindDemi is trending, and fans flood social media demanding to know who this mystery woman is. But Demi isn't a woman at all; it's the code name Ethan uses for Dmitri Volkov, captain of the rival Ashwood Mustangs and the man he's been secretly in love with for eight years. Dmitri, watching from Ashwood, drops everything the moment he sees the video. He abandons his date Natalia and drives four hours through the night to Halcyon, arriving at 4 AM to find Ethan passed out against the wall outside his apartment, abandoned by his own teammates. What follows is a tender, hungover morning of confessions: Dmitri carries Ethan to bed, they wake tangled together, and for the first time in their decade-long rivalry, they admit what they've always felt. Ethan impulsively posts a confirmation of his "happy, committed relationship", but forgets to tell his parents first. When Claire and Tom Prescott walk in on their son making out with his biggest rival, the revelation is as awkward as it is heartwarming. Told through alternating perspectives and interspersed with hilarious social media reactions, this is a story about the courage it takes to stop hiding, the radical act of choosing love over fear, and the understanding that sometimes the person you've been fighting all along is the one you were meant to find.
