A skater must overcome loss and a broken board to reclaim his passion.
Ty Taggart's love for skating dims after his brother's death in combat. Reckless and disinterested, he faces a pivotal moment when his brother's friend, Edwin, visits. As Ty dazzles in the tournament finals, a disastrous wipeout shatters his board. Can he rebuild overnight and rediscover his true potential, or will his grief hold him back? The stakes are high as Ty battles his inner turmoil and the clock.
Ty Taggart has always loved skating. But ever since his older brother, Nick, died in combat, Ty has been off his game. He skates recklessly and has lost all interest in the local skating tournament. But when Nick’s best friend, Edwin, pays him a visit, Ty is able to reign in his anger and realize his true skating potential. In the finals, everyone is dazzled by Ty’s slick, flashy tricks – until he wipes out and breaks his board. Ty will have to pick up the pieces and reassemble his board overnight if he hopes to prevail.
