Zack Conroy (Matt Lanter) and former lover Celeste Mercier (Sarah Gadon) lose the

gold to rivals Jason Bright (Ben Hollingsworth) and Cindy Halyard (Stéphanie
Valois) at the International Figure Skating Conference in Tokyo. Zack and Celeste
resolve to win the gold at nationals, but Celeste falls in a practice and fractures
her ankle. Coach Bryan Hemmings (Stefano Colacitti) initially encounters difficulty
in his search for a replacement partner for Zack.

Enter Alexandra Delgado, alias Alex (Francia Raisa). Zack realizes her potential as
a professional skater when he loses to her in an ice hockey match. Hemmings,
however, is unimpressed and refuses to coach the pair. Jackie Dorsey (Christy
Carlson Romano) reluctantly agrees to serve as coach instead. She leads Zack and
Alex into a strong first performance in the nationals, but a lapse in Zack's
concentration causes Alex to fall.

Despite the blunder, the two make it to the International Skating Conference in
Paris. There, Jason and Cindy engage in subterfuge and display a photo of Zack and
Celeste kissing. Alex, hurt and betrayed, storms out of the press conference. She
attempts to leave the next morning, but is swayed when Zack pleads with her and
professes his love. They go on to skate in the final competition and execute a move
which has only been done once before: the Pamchenko. That move wins them the gold,
and upon completion of their program they seal their love with a kiss.
