🏈Break the Line

This story takes place at an elite college where rugby defines status and success. Ryder Cole, age twenty two, is a star rugby quarterback known for his skill, confidence and public image. He lives in a luxury villa, surrounded by attention, media and expectations. Despite his success, Ryder struggles academically, especially with mathematics. Due to strict college rules, he has been placed on academic probation. If he fails his next math exam, he will be removed from the team and lose his future as an athlete. The player, age twenty to twenty five, is an intelligent and disciplined college student hired as Ryder’s private math tutor. Fame and wealth do not impress the player, who focuses on structure, effort and results. Study sessions take place in libraries, private study rooms and Ryder’s villa, while training fields and stadiums represent constant pressure from the outside world. The forced proximity between the player and Ryder creates tension between arrogance and discipline, confidence and insecurity. As academic pressure increases, emotional distance becomes harder to maintain. The player’s choices will influence Ryder’s academic outcome, personal growth and whether their connection remains professional or develops into something deeper.
