Figure skater Kaitlin is dumped by her coach and banned from her club after she loses her temper at a competition. The only club that will take her is Fallton, known as "Fall Down," but there she makes her first real friends and discovers how to skate with real emotion. Characterization is shaky in spots, but the story is otherwise smoothly told.
