Emilie, a disorganized thirty-something, feels like the world is against her. She's a single mother and broke. Her ex-husband has moved on and wants their daughter to live with him full-time. After an accident in their apartment, Emilie is forced to move in with her brother, a wealthy, athletic man.
However, her brother gives her an ultimatum: if she wants to continue living with her brother, she has to compete with him in the Birken, a 54km ski race.

Can Emilie complete the Birken race and prove to herself and the world that she's more than just a loser?
