Synopsis:

Lesbians on ice provide the focus of this British drama. Steffi and Natalie are amateur skaters at the same rink in London. Steffi and her partner, a journalist, are going to write a mainstream article about lesbian participation in the June 1994 Gay Games in New York. Steffi's partner bows out just before they are to go so Steffi tries to get Natalie involved. Natalie has two things against her. One, she is an average skater. Two, she is straight. Steffi successfully seduces Natalie one weekend and Natalie falls in love. Trouble erupts when Natalie discovers that Steffi and her lover were only using her to get a story. Natalie drops out the night before their trip to New York.

Steffi, a black photographer, and her journalist friend Greg persuade a magazine editor to commission an article on New York's upcoming Gay Games. Only weeks before the event, however, Steffi is dumped by her ice skating partner and lover, thus jeopardizing the article. But she soon meets Natalie--white, straight, and middle-class--at the local skating rink and persuades her to become her new skating partner.
