PLOT:

from ABC Family :

Once upon a time, champion figure skater Alex Delgado (Francia Raisa) was known for taking risks. After all, she's the one who landed a death-defying Pamchenko jump. But now she's without a partner, and playing it safe as a skating instructor.

Then a world-class coach approaches her, and Alex thinks she's got a shot at getting back in the game. Until she meets her new partner, James McKinsey (Brendan Fehr), aka the "Bad Boy of Speed Skating." James was on his way to Nationals when he did something to get himself banned from the sport and dumped by his sponsors. He sees teaming up with Alex as his way to stay on the ice and get to Nationals and beyond.

Alex thinks it's just a PR stunt, so she says no. At first. James convinces her he's sincere, if not totally cocky, and after a little soul-searching, Alex agrees to be his partner. They work out harder than they ever have ... and their amazing chemistry causes sparks on and off the ice.

But is it enough?

They've got the talent. They've got the chemistry. All they need is a killer move.
James thinks he's got it -- a move no one else has ever done. But it requires complete trust and total dedication. Can Alex take the greatest risk of her life and put her faith in James? When it comes down to the wire, will James stand by his partner or ice her out?

In the end, will Alex and James spin their fire into gold, or will they get burned?


Movie Review:

This Movie is filled with Adult Dialogue, Language, and Violence. There are several immoral sexual situations in the ice skating pair's shared apartment, and also in a locker room... plus a nasty game of strip poker.



See or Skip: I strongly suggest skipping this one.
