The original music score is composed by Patrick Williams.

[edit] Plot summary
Kate Moseley is a world-class figure skater training for the Olympics: she has genuine talent, but years of being spoiled by her wealthy family have made her all but impossible to work with. Doug Dorsey is a hockey player with drive, skill, and a full complement of arrogance; his team is also on the fast track to the Olympics. Unfortunately, an eye injury suffered during a game affects Doug's peripheral vision enough to force him to retire from the game. At the same time, Kate's colossal ego scares off yet another skating partner, and her coach, Anton Pamchenko, needs to find a replacement as soon as possible. Desperate to stay in Olympic competition, Doug agrees to try working as Kate's partner, even though he has a hockey player's macho contempt for figure skating. Needless to say, the first few practices between Doug and Kate did not go well, but in time they learn to work together and become a pair to be reckoned with both on and off the ice.
