However, to land that dream job, Lori must cover the closing of the Ice Palace, a historic skating rink and training center in her hometown of Greenhill, Michigan.
Despite having bad memories of the Ice Palace, Lori reluctantly accepts the assignment and heads home, hoping to win the promotion.
However, on the way, she encounters Mark Johnson (Rosner) and his daughter Zoe (Acacia Hanvelt), an aspiring skater. What Lori doesn’t realize is that Mark owns the Ice Palace which, unless there are major renovations, will be condemned.
The more Lori investigates her story, the more she realizes the importance of the Ice Palace to the small town’s community. She also realizes how much it means to Mark to keep it in his family. Along the way, her own passion for ice skating is revived.
