Hockey and snowboarding come together for an Olympic dream and beyond... When pro hockey player Hawk Montineau literally runs into snowboarder Caleb Lancaster at the Olympic games in Korea, the two of them have an instant chemistry that’s hard to deny. They’re happy to spend time together, but they’re both focused on their gold medal runs, and on their careers, so they know nothing will come of it. They keep in touch through highs and lows, through Olympic medals and injuries, and they’re very different people when they come together in Milan, where Caleb is taking one last run at the gold. Hawk has to deal with his career ending blow out, and he also has to decide if he can support Caleb as he puts his body in danger to go after what he wants. Together, they have to confront their demons, but can they learn to start over together?
