The series follows a figure skater who, after moving to Hokkaido following the death of his mother, begins playing ice hockey.
Fifteen year old figure skater Shirakawa Rou's mother dies in a car accident the day before his qualifying performance for the Olympic Games, rendering him grief-stricken and unable to compete.
Now orphaned, Shirakawa and his twin sister Haruna are forced to relocate from Tokyo to the home of their maternal grandfather in Tomakomai, Hokkaido.
After an encounter with the hockey-loving Genma brothers, Shirakawa decides to join the school's ice hockey team.
Noda has speculated that the series' hard-to-remember title and slow initial chapters may have contributed to its inability to find an audience.
