November 1941. As the brutal winter descends and the siege of Leningrad tightens its deadly grip, a daring squad of young iceboat racers ventures onto the fragile, unfinished ice. What begins as a mission to transport ammunition quickly transforms into a desperate rescue—saving a group of orphans left behind at an un-evacuated shelter. Once fierce competitors on the racing circuit, these athletes must now forge an unbreakable bond. Their only chance to survive—and to offer a lifeline of hope to others—is to become a true team.
