When Kat seizes an opportunity to continue her career as a pair skater with a talented bad-boy partner, she risks exposing a fiercely kept secret that could unravel her entire life. On and off the ice, Kat and her new partner will face daunting odds, injury to body and soul, financial sacrifice, and even potential mental breakdown on their way to realizing their Olympic dream.Weir plays Gabe, who seems like an easygoing guy - but under his funny, laidback exterior, he's a cutthroat competitor who will stop at nothing to beat Kat and Justin.

The show is created by Samantha Stratton (Mr. Mercedes), who was former competitive figure skater herself.
