Adriana Russo comes from figure skating royalty. With gold-medalist parents and an equally talented sister, the expectations surrounding her are sky-high. Determined to win the Junior World Championships and protect her family’s reputation, Adriana trains relentlessly.

Enter Brayden, her new skating partner. Their undeniable on-ice chemistry sparks a strategic idea: fake a romantic relationship to boost publicity and save the rink.
