SYNOPSIS
Jessica, a competitive young Mexican hockey player and team leader of the Ice Rats—a nickname mockingly given by their rival team—is fed up with years of humiliation. During a heated game against their longtime rivals, the Lynxes, Jessica’s aggression causes a brutal accident, breaking the leg of the Lynxes' top player, Kerry. The injury enrages Larry, Kerry's father, as well as other parents and attendees, leading to a chaotic brawl involving players, referees, and spectators. In the ensuing chaos, Amanda, another player, is accidentally killed.
Bob, Amanda's father, confronts Larry in a heated exchange that spirals out of control, leading Larry to accidentally kill Bob and Amanda's mother. To cover his tracks and protect his own reputation, Larry orders the arena locked and frames the Ice Rats for the deaths, convincing himself that the only way out is to eliminate them all—even if it means abandoning his own injured daughter, Kerry.
Trapped in the arena, the Ice Rats and Kerry barely survive Larry's first attempt on their lives. The girls must now fight to escape while Larry and his wife, Vanessa, target them one by one. As tensions mount and more victims fall, the survivors are narrowed down until only Jessica, Kerry, and Larry remain. In a final, brutal confrontation, Jessica and Kerry team up, narrowly defeating Larry.
