Two friends, once united by their Olympic hockey dreams, face the consequences of a pivotal choice. Leigh and Susy were teammates aiming for gold, but when Leigh's plan to secure her spot backfired, she abandoned everything, including Susy, who knew her secret. Now, two decades later, Leigh is a successful investment banker, married, and the mother of a hockey prodigy. A new career opportunity brings the family back to Minnesota, thrusting Leigh into the competitive hockey world she left behind, where she encounters Susy, a constant reminder of her past. Despite their chilly relationship, Susy hopes Leigh will join her in coaching, understanding the challenges women face in sports. Susy fears her daughter, Georgie, will be sidelined as a "girl athlete," receiving less support and opportunity. Meanwhile, Leigh struggles to keep Susy at a distance to protect her own history with former coach Jeff Carlson, who hints at leveraging favors for her son's ice time. Faced with the dilemma of revealing her past or succumbing to Jeff's demands, Leigh realizes that the rival she once feared may actually become her greatest ally. This narrative, infused with wit and compassion, explores themes of overcoming the past, confronting the future, and the enduring strength of female friendship.
