tor is put in the hospital after an avalanche of snow and pine trees is toppled on top of him causing him to be hospitalized due to the avalanche he was in a coma and was able to hear what was happening around him but could not see it but he was able to overhear that the hockey coach wanted to harvest tors blood to use for testing with blood doping and other unfair advantages using blood when in playing a sport.

Tor is faced by a issue from the mayor and coach Rollins Rollins was draining the hockey players blood from them and giving them there blood back but the mayor never knew that coach Rollins was drawing blood from the mayors son causing him to die when he did because of hyperthermia and loss of blood and the mayor fights the head coach because he kept his sons blood from him that caused him to die.

Tor gets stuck in an avalanche trying to learn snowboarding skills while leaning to slow himself down more and more to were he can get to a complete stop and avalanche of snow comes burling down on top of Tor his coach trys to get to him but more snow piles onto Tor as the next 10 minutes goes by more snow rocks and trees and tree limbs fall onto next to and around Tor but once it all stops Tor is rescued

Tor gets caught trying to steal resites and documents for fingerprints so that him and his friends can help figure out who was the person to get the blood from the hockey players that are on the team from the unfair competitive advantage against other players but once they can stop the blood harvesting and from the players and it being given to another person that is feeding off of it to keep them sustained over time

tor gets in contact with Mrs addams to get the towns lawyer to get the mayor hurt from him blood doping his hockey team to win but it is seen as a act of cheating

Tor raine and drake break into the mayors office successfully again to look for raines family mining land deed while looking for it they stumble across a fridge while looking every where and then remember that there was another fridge next to a freezer room that had all hockey players blood in them so that the mayor could use it for his players

Tor breaks into the mayors office to steal the deed back for raines family's land that was stolen from them from the mayors office this is significant because the land that raines family owns will be destroyed and made into a new ski resort that would be under a gold mine that raines family used to use until it was empty raine wants this land back and she does not want it to become a ski resort that will hurt the hil

Tor gets stuck on the soon to be new ski resort in his little Colorado town as the small area that Tor and his friends drake and raine was breaking under there feet as they were looking for a way to get out they run out the way they came but there was rocks covering it so they had to push around the entrance that they came in they had to run to a different opening before that shut on them leaving them stuck

Tor thinks that his mother is being killed by the town mayor when in reality the mayor is trying to kiss tors mother but tors mother is just trying to get away from the mayor but Tor see's this as the mayor hurting his mother so he knocks the mayor down onto the ground away from his mom so that he can save his mom from his perspective but his mother is safe just very upset over what happened with Tor and the mayor.
