The Plot:
Seven years ago, a rocky divorce split up Bill and Sandy, as well as their championship curling team. On the brink of the most important Bonspiel of the year, a sudden emergency brings Bill and Sandy, their friends, their siblings, and a hotshot newcomer together in a desperate attempt to form a winning foursome. Battling on and off the ice, can this ragtag team of curlers face their personal differences, long-held sibling rivalry, and lingering feelings in order to bring home a win (and maybe even find love in the process)?
