Prime Video's latest romance drama has captivated viewers with its leading man, Garrett Graham.

We are introduced to the university hockey player in the opening episode of Off Campus, based on Elle Kennedy's viral book series of the same name.

The programme chronicles an unexpected romance between sporting sensation Garrett (portrayed by Belmont Cameli) and music student Hannah Wells (Ella Bright).

Despite hailing from contrasting backgrounds, the pair develop a connection when Garrett requests Hannah's tutoring services in return for whatever she desires.

They subsequently agree to embark on a pretend relationship designed to provoke jealousy in Hannah's unrequited love interest, hoping he will at last take notice of her. However, what begins as a mutually advantageous arrangement quickly evolves into something deeper, reports the Mirror.

During the series opener, audiences spot Garrett's Latin tattoo, which reads 'nullum gratuitum grandium'.

What does Garrett's tattoo in Off Campus mean?

The Latin expression translates to 'there is no free lunch,' signifying that everything carries a price. This serves as an astute reference to the narrative, as Hannah and Garrett's arrangement exacts a toll on both parties.

The womanising hockey star finds himself obliged to commit to a relationship with one woman, albeit a fabricated one. Meanwhile, Hannah is thrust beyond her comfort zone as a reserved music enthusiast.

All eight episodes of Off Campus arrived on Prime Video today (May 13), and the programme has already secured an impressive 91% Rotten Tomatoes score.

Its official synopsis teases: "A college soap based on the bestselling book series, Off Campus follows an elite ice hockey team, and the women in their lives, as they grapple with love, heartbreak, and self-discovery-forging deep friendships and enduring bonds while navigating the complexities that come with transitioning into adulthood.

"Season One follows the sexy and fun 'opposites attract' romance between quiet songwriter, Hannah, and Briar University's all-star hockey athlete, Garrett."

Those eager to delve into the original story can pick up The Deal, the first instalment in Kennedy's much-loved series. The recommended reading order for the subsequent books is: The Mistake, The Score, The Goal, and The Legacy.
