Story
For four years, Ethan and Ryan have been locked in a bitter feud in the college pool. A clash over a relay tryout and some misread training logs keep the fire burning. Their coach ends the fighting by tying both their scholarships and futures to each other, then forces them into demanding night drills as a pair. Constant close contact soon turns their hostility into a lingering attraction.
