The lives and careers of two hockey players are changed forever when a star player delivers a punishing headshot to a rookie, who happens to be his younger brother.
The Stanley Cup Play-offs are in full swing. The Cleveland Crusaders are favorites to win, led by superstar Lucas Reilly. Lucas dreams of winning the prestigious trophy. His other dream is to play in the NHL with his kid brother, Eric. The Hartford Hellcats call up Eric from the minor leagues after an injury to another player.
The brothers face each other in the play-offs. Lucas accidentally injures Eric, leading to his third concussion. Lucas accepts his league suspension. He returns a changed player, haunted by the hit. Eric struggles with recovery, with help from their parents and Chantal, his former girlfriend.
The Crusaders reach the finals with a struggling Lucas. He is indifferent to winning. His focus is on Eric, whom he eventually visits. Eric contemplates the risk of more concussions and thoughts of retirement.
It's a real head game.
