The ice is a cold surface, but for them, it was the only place where they remembered being happy. After being wounded by the people they trusted most, fate hands them a second chance in the form of a childhood love. A bond that resurfaces with a single glance, yet comes with a question burned into their minds: "Don’t you remember me?"
​Their love story has only just begun, but the shadows of the past are not willing to let them go. With vengeance looming over their private lives and sabotage threatening their skating careers, danger is everywhere. Will their light withstand the chill of betrayal, or will they ultimately shatter under the pressure?

​The bubble of peace and laughter that Aibek and Jake had built among the snowy birches vanished instantly upon crossing the revolving doors of Espoo's Metro Arena. On Saturday morning, the atmosphere inside the sports complex was anything but idyllic. The air breathed in the underground corridors was dry, cold, and heavy with that characteristic scent of disinfectant, metal, and rosin that would make anyone's hair stand on end. The murmur of local television broadcasts, the flickering of giant screens displaying ISU schedules, and the dull thud of skates hitting the rubber mats announced that the day of the short program had arrived. The fifth stop of the Grand Prix was underway, and the pressure felt like a heavy slab upon the shoulders of every delegation.
