In the small working-class town of South Dorothy, Minnesota, where the high school hockey team has been churning out of state championships and NHL stars for decades with their legendary Coach “Sully” Sullivan at the helm.

What unfolds is the hopeful and unforgettable story of an underdog team who comes together to galvanize their town, reclaim their way of life, and turn their shared grief into an unstoppable superpower.
