Hockey goalie Robbie Zeiger plans to spend his first weeks of retirement figuring himself out and getting custody of his nephew, Sawyer. He lasts a few days before said kid signs him up to make a fool of himself ice-dancing on national television.

Good thing Robbie’s never taken himself too seriously.

When cast member Stef breaks her collarbone, choreographer and former ice-dancer Finn has reservations about filling in. But Robbie proves game to be half of a same-sex pair, so Finn falls back in love with competing, even if he does smell a setup. His new partner happens to be his sister’s bestie’s “tragically single” uncle? Suspicious.

What’s supposed to be a cool summer on the ice heats up fast. Robbie has no defense against Finn’s charms, especially when he has his hands all over him every day. The no-fraternizing rule means they have to sneak around, but meeting up in hotel rooms like Finn is Robbie’s mistress only fuels their sex drives.

Then Robbie’s personal life implodes and he has to put his feelings for Finn on the back burner. How can they find their balance as a team off the ice if they never get any practice?
