Coming off a season of professional highs and then lows, Sophie is looking forward to a fresh new season. A season without a new coach or long-term injury. A season where everything returns to normal. But even though Sophie has recovered from tearing her ACL, she isn't back at the top of her game yet. All her life, Sophie's father has told her if she isn't the best, they won't let her play hockey. On the ice, she has to rely on her teammates more than she's used to. She has to learn that there is a place for her on the roster, even if she isn't setting franchise records for points scored in a single season. And off the ice, Sophie learns that some relationships go beyond hockey. She and Elsa are teammates, linemates, but their partnership is more than that. And maybe, all this time she's been telling Elsa she wants them to be Condors for life, she's been asking for something else.
