What is “Finding Her Edge” about?

The series centers on the three Russo sisters, who are heirs to their family’s struggling figure skating rink. The middle sister, 17-year-old Adriana, sets her sights on winning a championship with a new skating partner, Brayden. The catch? She’s still in love with her former partner, Freddie. As financial worries snowball and the rink faces the risk of closure, Adriana and Brayden decide to fake a romance to land a major sponsorship. It’s a slippery situation when the strategic act soon turns into a dizzying love triangle.
