Jesse's life takes a dramatic turn when his twin brother, Michael, the superstar of the hockey world, is injured and offers Jesse the chance to step into his skates.
With trepidation and a burning desire to know "what could have been," Jesse accepts the challenge. But his journey goes beyond the rink as he leads a double life, keeping their secret from family, teammates, and the world. As Jesse takes on his brother's identity, he discovers he's not quite as skilled as Michael but has moments of brilliance that capture the team's imagination.
However, when Coach Picton, the man who once haunted his dreams, returns as the new head coach, sparks fly, and Jesse's motivation shifts.
