In the cutthroat world of rodeo, Cajun bull rider Easton Faucheaux harbors a secret crush on his best friend and rival, Royal Guérin. As they grapple with their forbidden attraction amidst mysterious occurrences in the arena, they must choose between concealing their feelings or risking it all for a love that defies convention. Cajun rodeo star Easton Faucheaux wants to win another bull riding championship but has three problems. First, he hasn't completely healed from an injury, and his sponsors aren't convinced he's still competition material.
Second, strange things are happening in the arenas that no one is acknowledging. And third, Royal has inundated every nuance of his thoughts. Not only is Royal his best friend and biggest competition, but he's also the sexiest man Easton has ever seen. The mere thought of screwing up their friendship is enough to keep Easton's lips clamped. *** Royal Guérin has always confided everything to Easton-well, almost everything.
He does have one secret that he's never shared despite wanting to. However, with the finals nearing, protestors picketing, resurfaced feelings of his father's abandonment, and other bizarre happenings that can't be explained by natural occurrences, now isn't the time for confessions. Life is complicated without lopping more onto it. So, whose idea was it to visit a psychic? Oh, that's right-a new competitor has popped up out of nowhere.
Now, there's another secret to conceal. Remaining silent is a struggle, but Royal will do anything to protect Easton. Both athletes figure it's best to remain silent-that is until silence isn't an option anymore. The strangeness just got dangerous, and they find themselves embroiled in a deadly game of survival-mentally, emotionally, and physically.
