Teenage skater, Rosie, thinks that her dreams have finally been realised when she begins pair skating with her best friend, Sergei. But along with all the extra hard work comes a whole host of other problems. How is she going to tell her old coach and ballet teacher that she is to be taught by someone else? Just what is wrong with her school project which was going so well and fast becoming a real skating initiative? And why is new friend Sol suddenly so troubled? There is no respite from individuals jealous of her success either. Rosie and Sergei are aiming high - but are they heading for success or a fall?

Rosie loves to skate: she has found her element and truly believes that there is no life without skating. She thinks it; lives it; dreams it - accepts its challenges and turns to it for solace. However, having a bratty little sister who is rapidly becoming recognised as a talented gymnast, a mum who already has two jobs to make ends meet and a threat to her lifts to the ice rink, it looks as if Rosie's skating days are numbered. Growing worries over her beloved Nan, the emergence of an unexpected enemy and a school project which takes on a mind of its own, all contribute to changing Rosie's world forever and lead to the realisation of her most secret dream.
