Nothing’s been quite the same in the small town of Long Bay, Ontario since Chris Cutter left town 10 years ago. When the curling star left, he didn’t just throw away his team’s chance to win the coveted Golden Broom – he threw away a chance at love, leaving his fiancée standing at the altar.Returning to town for the funeral of his former coach and mentor, Cutter decides to put his old team together and win the prestigious Golden Broom in the coach’s honour. Realizing his motley crew will be hard-pressed to win without a coach, Cutter swallows his pride and calls upon a retired curling champion: his estranged father, Gordon Cutter. Thus, the four men with brooms set off on a comedic journey which takes them from frozen lakes to huge arenas, searching for perfect stones, lost loves and second chances.
