Set in the early 2010s, four teen figure skaters rehearse for their annual holiday show, led by their bizarre and obsessive coach. They pray to Michelle Kwan, their god, for guidance. In the locker room, the girls navigate friend drama, twerking and IBS. When a blizzard traps them in the ice rink, reality warps. Their prayers to Michelle Kwan turn into violent rituals and life becomes a never-ending rehearsal... a never-ending ritual. A dark comedy about the beauty, violence and camaraderie of girlhood in hyper-competitive spaces.
