Love On Ice is a different kind of love story. Dr. Charles Martin is madly in love with his new bride, Marie. However on their wedding night, Charles has a "mid-life crisis" moment. Fearing that, if he dies prematurely, they won't have their full share of time together, Charles asks Marie to promise him to have him cryogenically frozen. Marie is cold to the idea and fends off Charles' creative efforts at persuasion. But after a mortal accident, she changes her mind and asks Charles to freeze her so they can love happily ever after. This results in Charles having to protect Marie's frozen body from the French government, an ex-lover and his own human frailty - plagued by the question, "Can we fall in love... again?" Assisted by the cryogenic spirits of Ted Williams, Walt Disney and Michael Jackson, love prevails, souls unite, and love burns forever... at minus 270 degrees Centigrade.
