Cut from the US women's hockey team right before her third
chance at gold, Natalie Carpenter is scrambling for a plan that'll
help her avoid moving back home. The answer: a guest-hosting gig on Wake
Up, USA's winter games coverage. Her cohost: Darcy LaCroix, Nat's
ex-girlfriend, one-time college teammate turned adversary.
Since leaving Team Canada, Darcy has worked hard to make a name in
broadcasting. If her big break requires sharing screen time with the former
cocky freshman who turned her world upside down, so be it.
At this point, there's nothing between them except history.
But audiences disagree. #PuckingHotties is trending hard, and Nat and
Darcy agree to lean into it – for ratings, obviously. It's not like Nat can
forget the way Darcy broke her heart or their bitter team rivalry.
Between working, travelling together and that irresistible spark, it's getting
hard to separate what's real and what's for the camera. Because somewhere
underneath everything that went wrong is the sneaking suspicion that nothing
will ever feel quite this right again.
