Vick Marshall, a perpetual backup goalie, finds a glimmer of hope when he's picked up by the Sockeyes and gets a chance to prove himself as a starter due to the injury of the team's regular goalie.
Vick's career might be on an upward trajectory, but his personal life is in the dumps. He's become increasingly close to a teammate's neglected and emotionally abused wife, Inga Chowaski, constantly rescuing her from distressing situations. Vick's involvement creates tension within the team and disrupts his typically quiet existence.
As Vick grapples with his growing attraction to the sweet and shy Inga, he can't help but question who will rescue him from the complexities of their relationship. Caught between professional aspirations and personal entanglements, Vick faces a challenging journey both on and off the ice.
