Occasionally moving Canadian TV drama with so-so acting fares better on the ice as it tells the story of young protege (du Toit) sidelined by injury who gets a shot at glory via the belief of her coach Mercury (former world figure-skating champion Stojko).
Nineties leading lady Henstridge plays the arrogant, elitist and controlling mother of du Toit's bestie (Hunsley) who's also a champion figure skater. The two have a falling out which leads to a rivalry serving as the dramatic backdrop heading into the much anticipated sectional climax.
Prolific Canadian actor Stewart adds balance as Henstridge's henpecked husband who only wants his daughter to be happy, meanwhile Daans adds copious cleavage playing du Toit's financially struggling mother, herself a former figure skater trying not to deprive du Toit from reaching her full potential.
Strictly formula stuff with nothing remotely offensive should mildly entertain if you don't mind keeping it light and uncomplicated.
