After the Storm is the final part of a trilogy about the inhabitants of two rival hockey towns, preceded by Bear's Corner and Us Against You. Two years have passed since the events that everyone wants to forget in order to move on. Maja Anderson and Benji Ovic return home and reunite with close friends. They sense an atmosphere of optimism and purpose in Beartown, embodied in the impressive ice palace built by the lake. But the problems caused by the aftermath of a huge storm reignite the old rivalry between Beartown and neighboring Hod, a rivalry that begins on the ice rink, but never ends there. The growing tension turns into mutual intimidation and then violence... The general obsession with hockey increasingly irritates fourteen-year-old Matteo. In addition, those he believes are responsible for his sister's death are hockey players. Matteo is determined to take revenge. He has a gun. And a plan of action, the implementation of which will lead to tragedy. This poignant story invites us to reconsider our views on what it means to win and what it means to lose, what it means to lose and what it means to forgive.
