Synopsis
Nehoiden High School hockey stars Will Mankus (Charlie Gillespie) and Danny Campbell (Sterling Beaumon) dream of college scholarships as they approach their critical senior year. Suddenly, their bright future is cast into darkness when Danny dies by suicide after years of simmering inner turmoil. Nobody is hit harder by Danny’s death than Will.
Feeling his dreams slipping away amidst the loss of his best friend, Will isolates himself from his father (Matt Letscher), family and friends, struggling to find purpose and connection in his life, drawing the concern of his childhood crush Kayla Donahue (Kyla Kenedy) and his hockey teammates. As he confronts his grief and forms a bond with the team’s reluctant new coach Dave Dunn (Jack Falahee), Will and the Nehoiden Black Bears become a symbol of resilience and a rallying cry for their town. Together, they find hope in unexpected places to heal their tight-knit New England community and reignite their passion for the sport they fell in love with.
A Nehoiden Street Films Production, Shattered Ice is written by first-time writer Jake Miskin, directed by Alex Ranarivelo and starring Charlie Gillespie in a stunning breakout performance, Shattered Ice explores the ties that bind us together in small-town communities and the courage it takes to share our deepest emotions, especially in the world of sports. The film is produced by Miskin, Dan Sheldon, Benjamin Stephen, and Christopher V. Nelson. Arlie Day and Mike Page of Day & Page Casting are co-producing and handling casting for the film. It’s supported by Hope Givers, a Georgia-based nonprofit whose mission is to create and produce content to help transform health, equity, and well-being for all.
