Maya Andersson and Benji Ovich can see how much Beartown has changed. Two years have passed since the events that no one wants to think about. The destruction caused by a ferocious summer storm reignites the old rivalry between Beartown and the neighbouring town of Hed, a rivalry which has always been fought through their ice hockey teams. Tensions between the two towns turn into acts of intimidation and then violence. All the while, a fourteen-year-old boy grows increasingly alienated and is determine to take revenge on the people he hold's responsible for his sister's death. He has a pistol and a plan that will leave Beartown with a loss that is almost more than it can stand.
