In a town where winter never loosens its grip, Zephyrine Roy and Cassidy Coletti, known as Zeph and Cass, grow up chasing excellence on opposite sides of the ice.
Zeph is a snowboarder born into legacy, loud and fearless, constantly watched and rarely understood. Cass is the town's most disciplined figure skater, driven by precision and relentless work, determined to prove she deserves every ounce of praise she earns. Though their paths are different, they share the same spotlight-and a rivalry that has followed them for years.
Both girls are fighting for control over who they are meant to be. Zeph wants distance from the tension that has shaped her childhood. Cass wants to meet expectations she's carried for as long as she can remember. But resentment, comparison, and a history neither of them knows how to unpack keep them locked in opposition.
When Cass starts dating Zeph's brother, avoiding each other is no longer an option. Forced into the same spaces and the same moments, the rivalry they've relied on begins to shift.
Because sometimes, the person who taught you how to be cold... is the very one who starts to make the ice melt.
