Carolina and Lulana are collegiate hockey players in a flooding San Francisco, determined to win their senior championships and move to Mars after graduation. When Lulana’s Mars-born pen pal Ariel announces that they’re relocating to Earth — specifically, to Carolina and Lulana’s team — the three find themselves entangled in fierce competition and increasing uncertainty about what lies beyond the rink.
