    Synopsis:

    The narrative follows figure skater Tazusa Sakurano as she navigates the pressures of Olympic competition. A pivotal performance in Canada ends abruptly with an injury and subsequent return home. This event is overshadowed by a peculiar occurrence: Tazusa begins hearing a disembodied voice, the consciousness of Pete Pumps, a stunt pilot unexpectedly confined to her body.

    Pete’s arrival is not a divine intervention, but a consequence of unresolved earthly matters and a temporary tether to the physical world. The series explores the unconventional dynamic between the two individuals as they attempt to coexist. Tazusa must maintain her skating career while contending with Pete's often-unhelpful commentary, raising questions about ambition, identity, and the unexpected connections forged through shared experience. The story unfolds within the competitive world of figure skating, layered with a touch of surreal humor and introspective moments.
