When the rink is at risk of being lost, she looks for help from professionals. The last person she expects to help them get back on their feet is Lavern, an old flame from high school. After running from grief over the loss of his brother eight years ago, Lavern is back in town on assignment from a company that helps struggling businesses. Assigned to help the rink recover, he now must face the girl he once loved and left behind. Together, Lavern and Jaclyn are the only hope to save her family's rink.
