| Picking Up the Pieces chronicles the lives of four fictional athletes as they deal with individual hardships and overcome racism, stereotypes, injury, and previous mistakes. . There's Shayne, a short track speed skater, who's had to learn some of life's little lessons the hard way. Her training is tough, but the thought of being away from her sister is even tougher. And then there's Harper spent much of her early childhood going in and out of hospitals. She vowed that if she ever learned to walk, she'd play hockey, and now hockey, her one love, seems to be the cause of her injuries. Next is Elena, whose comeback to the skiing world serves as a painful reminder of past mistakes. She struggles to regain the trust of her father and earn the trust of her new coach. Finally, there's Alex, a figure skater living in a world of impossible expectations. When her routines start to falter, her boyfriend encourages her to turn to diet pills in order to stay thin. Although her performances get better, her personal life begins to spin out of control, forcing her to make some pretty tough decisions. While preparing for the Olympics, these four very different girls become an unlikely group of friends as they begin to pick of the pieces of their dysfunctional lives. |
