Hidden amongst the media, flashing cameras and constant articles, Harley would soon meet someone that would change the trajectory of her life. April, the younger sister of Laurel Stevens, a famous and very successful snowboarder. But in a time of financial burden, April Stevens is roped into a contract with the CEO - unbeknownst to her. Snowboarding might be a hobby but if she wanted success training was required. Is there anyone brave enough to coach a woman who doesn't want to be there and who is too stubborn to see the issues that lie beneath the surface of the snow?
As if being Robert's daughter wasn't scrutinising enough, she worked for him. The CEO's secret daughter, Harley Wilson, was thrown into the world of running a ski resort eight years ago. With the physical demands of working two jobs, there was the 2021 Rookie Snowboarding Tour soon approaching. Roberts' short temper and high demands left no room for error. She might play this role frequently but this year, added factors prove to be an issue, throwing her off balance.
When Harley and April are coincidently bought together, their personalities clash drastically. Living different lives, the past and present draws upon their story. After a rocky year in 2021, will the woman work through their differences or remain hateful towards each other?
