Matt Harper is facing a massive upheaval. With his mother working a mysterious government job overseas, he has to pack up and move in with his uncle. The only thing keeping Matt grounded is his snowboard. As long as he can carve his way down the snowy slopes, he knows he can handle anything this new town throws at him. But trouble finds him quickly when he crosses paths with Riley, the undisputed star snowboarder of his new middle school. Riley is not interested in sharing the mountain, and he immediately launches a campaign to ruin Matt's reputation. Soon, vicious rumors about Matt's past are spreading through the hallways, and high-stakes challenges are being thrown down on the snow. Matt has to figure out how to clear his name and prove his skills before Riley's bullying snowballs completely out of control.
