Coaxed by a friend, children's author Joe Peterson (Ross Partridge) -- who's suffering from writer's block -- heads to wintry Wisconsin to focus on his new book and to take a dip in Lake Michigan as part of the annual Polar Bear Plunge. But when he unexpectedly finds love with bubbly waitress Sif Andersen (Kathryn Aselton), Joe runs afoul of the town sheriff -- who happens to be Sif's father. Barry Corbin co-stars in this delightful indie comedy.
