Despite their differences, the two athletes are tasked with competing in the pairs figure skating event at the Winter Olympics.

Kate, who is accustomed to being the center of attention, is initially reluctant to work with Doug, who is rough around the edges and has a chip on his shoulder from his hockey background.
