Plot summary

Kate Moseley is a world-class figure skater training for the 1988 Winter Olympics. She has genuine talent, but years of being spoiled by her wealthy father have made her all but impossible to work with. Doug Dorsey is an exceptional hockey player with drive, skill and a full complement of arrogance. His team is also in the 1988 Winter Olympics. Just minutes prior to his match, he and Kate "literally" run into each other at the Olympics. Unfortunately, Doug suffers an eye injury during the game that damages his peripheral vision enough to force him to retire from hockey. At the same time, Kate loses yet another skating partner, and her coach, Anton Pamchenko, needs to find a replacement. After all the obvious candidates bluntly refuse to work with Kate, he proceeds to track down Doug, who by now is back home working in a steel mill in Minnesota.

Desperate for a chance to skate again, Doug agrees to try working as Kate's partner, even though he has a hockey player's macho contempt for figure skating. But Kate's snooty, prima donna behavior, even toward Doug, makes her a driven perfectionist. Needless to say, the first few practices between Doug and Kate do not go very well. But in time, their relationship grows warmer and they learn to work together and become a pair to be reckoned with both on and off the ice. As they go onto the ice at the Olympic finals in Albertville, France, love suddenly raises its head. Can they find the ability that they've demonstrated before well enough to win a gold medal, and deal with true love at the same time?
