Ice Castles

Alexis "Lexie" Winston is a young girl who dreams of becoming a champion figure skater. Lexie enters a regional championship and is discovered by an elite coach who sees her potential despite a lack of training and qualifications at an advanced age for figure skaters. Lexie moves from her home in Waverly, Iowa to train at the legendary Broadmoor World Arena in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Lexie's life is drastically changed; she alienates her high school sweetheart, a handsome young hockey player called Nick and she begins dating an older man. One night, while skating, Lexie tried coming down after trying another triple axle and her skate caught on the metal bar between the tables and ice where she tripped and fell into the tables and chairs and hitting her head on the middle bar of a table. This accident causes her to lose her sight due to a blood clot in her brain. In the midst of feeling sorry for herself, she and Nick rediscover their love for each other. With help from Nick, her father Marcus and original coach Beulah, Lexie begins to realize that she can still fulfill her dreams.
