INTRO
We build our lives on the most unstable things; ice. All of us built our futures, our careers on ice, something that under pressure would crack. And for all of us, it cracked, and we fell through.
He thought he was ready. The world thought he was ready. But apparently, he wasn't ready.
NATHAN CHEN was set to win the gold medal at the 2018 Olympics, he had everything, the quads, the luck, the mental game. But at the Olympics, everything gave out. He was just an 18-year-old, with too much pressure on his shoulders.
KIERRA YU was a shot in the dark. She came out of nowhere, with the ability to randomly and spastically throw quads. She had the so-called "full package." She knew what she was there for, to win. Yet she got distracted and too involved, and in the end, it lead to her downfall.
VINCENT ZHOU was young and naive. He had never won, and going to the Olympics was honestly just for fun. He wished that he could be more, more talented, more skilled, more of everything, but he wasn't.
Three athletes from the United States of America, three destinies, three skaters that fell short. 2018 brought failure, in all sorts of aspects, from skating to their love life. But all three are waiting for their redemption skate, the skate where they win. But jealousy, lovers, and exes never mix, and some will rise, and others will drown.
Yet to move on they must all forget the past, learn to forgive, and give second chances. But to all of them they still question; Can you juggle a career and a relationship? And in a world full of secrets and lies, which one will rise, and which will fall?
