Now that his hockey career is ending, what will become of his life?
Felix Batterinski grew up tough in Northern Ontario where hockey
was the only way out of a life of grinding poverty. He got out and
enjoyed fame as a hockey "enforcer" for the Philadelphia Flyers.
But fame is fleeting. Now in his thirties and at the end of his
playing career, Felix tries to make a go of it as a player-coach
for a Finnish club. As the lone Canadian on the team, he is an
outsider with a reputation that takes on a life of its own. When a
controversial play brings his comeback bid to a screeching halt,
Felix is faced with his own obsolescence and begins a tragic
descent into disillusion and despair.
