SYNOPSIS
Driven by his father’s brutal code, Detroit hockey phenom Dean Youngblood joins the Hamilton Mustangs. Benched for arrogance and baited by a rival goon, he begins to grow under the guidance of captain Sutton. As the playoffs loom, Dean faces a defining choice between revenge and maturity — one that will determine the player and the man he becomes.
