I’m a grinder, an expendable guy who’s always on the edge of losing my spot on whichever team I’m on at the time. When I’m put on waivers by my current team, I’m picked up by the Portland Icehawks, a second-year expansion team. And that’s when things start to get really interesting.

Camden and I have explosive chemistry, the kind that blows up in our faces and destroys everything around us. Now my boss wants me to cut Camden, but I can’t let him go. I believe in him even though no one else does, including Camden himself.
