Description
Two years have passed since the dramatic events that everyone is trying to forget, but something about this place prevents them. The destruction caused by a fierce late-summer storm reignites the rivalry between Beartown and the neighboring town of Hed.
Maya Andersson and Benji Ovich, who left their hometown in search of a better life, return and reunite with their loved ones. A sense of optimism is now pervasive thanks to Beartown’s impressive renovated ice rink.
Meanwhile, Maya’s parents are caught in an investigation into the hockey team’s controversial finances, while Amat – once Beartown Hockey’s big star- has retired following an injury and a failed attempt to be drafted by an NHL team. The tense relations between the two towns turn into acts of intimidation and then into violence.
No one has noticed the fourteen-year-old boy who is becoming increasingly alienated from the community, preparing to take revenge on those responsible for his beloved sister’s death. He takes a gun and heads toward the ice rink. The losses for Beartown will be immeasurable.
