A charming sports-romance comedy about two competitive athletes learning to trust and love each other while chasing Olympic redemption.

Two former Olympians, one a figure skater and the other a hockey player, pin their hopes of one last shot at Olympic glory on one another. That is, of course, if they can keep from killing each other in the process...
