Like The Cutting Edge before it, Spinning Out focuses on a young woman who turns to pairs figure skating after an accident derails her singles career. According to the official Netflix description, "Kat seizes an opportunity to continue her career as a pair skater with a talented bad-boy partner, Justin Davis, she risks exposing a fiercely kept secret that could unravel her entire life. She splits her time between the ice rink, working as a waitress, and living with her family the nearby working-class town of Hawkley, Idaho. Kat's mother, Carol is a former figure skater who has raised Kat, and younger sister, Serena, on her own. Fuelled by a desire to prove that she can cut it as a pair skater wrong, Kat keeps her eye on the prize – facing daunting odds to realise her Olympic dream."
