The movie follows the story of Casey Carlyle (played by Michelle Trachtenberg), a brilliant high school student with a passion for physics. Despite her academic talents, Casey feels pressured by her overbearing mother Joan (played by Joan Cusack) to pursue a career in academics and attend Harvard University.
However, Casey’s life takes an unexpected turn when she discovers a hidden talent for figure skating. Inspired by her love for physics and intrigued by the mechanics of skating, Casey becomes determined to pursue her dream of becoming a competitive figure skater.
With the help of her new friend Gen (played by Hayden Panettiere), a fellow skater, Casey begins training at the local ice rink under the guidance of former champion skater Tina Harwood (played by Kim Cattrall).
