After the death of his grandfather, David, the Carver family's prodigal son, returns to Boundary Mountain which is home to the Carvers' ski resort, a lush vacation spot set against the backdrop of extreme sports. Tensions soon rise when it is revealed that David has inherited the ski resort over Will, his business-savy brother. David struggles to figure out how to deal with this situation but things aren't made any easier when he's pressured by Travis, a family friend and a Boundary employee, to sell the resort to the entrepreneurial Dowling family.

Also, Shelley, the youngest Carver and an aspiring snowboardist, once preparing to compete in the Gennie Carver Foundation Invitational, is now trying to deal with the death of her grandfather by pushing away her best friend, Sam.

 

The Carvers have set a meeting with a bank manager to get a loan that would help them keep the resort running during the winter but David is nowhere to be found. Turns out he's in Denver for a motocross race where things turn ugly and David ends up in jail. On top of that, Dowling is offering more money to the resort's employees so they can come work for him.
