Once Tina Harwood was a champion in figure skating, but her star has long waned. Now she trains her daughter Jen, cherishing the hope that she will be able to bring to life the daring sport dreams that she could not fulfill herself. But it soon becomes clear: not Jen has the makings of a great skater but her other ward - a quiet school A-student Casey Carlyle. Will Tina have enough spirit to go against the maternal instinct and start promoting another girl to the fame? And will Casey have enough courage to go against the wishes of her mother, who encourages her daughter goads to enter Harvard, and join the fight for the crown of an Ice Princess?
