Plot summary
Donald Foley, a lifelong curler and coach in Long Bay, dies after hauling a set of stones up from the lake, and his will asks the rink he last coached to enter the Golden Broom Bonspiel and place the rock holding his ashes on the button as the winning shot. None of the four has curled since they last played together a decade ago, when skip Chris Cutter broke the team up, dumped the stones in the lake and walked out on his engagement to Julie Foley. Chris comes home and tries to gather Neil Bucyk, Eddie Strombeck and James Lennox, but Neil answers to his wife Linda at her family's funeral home, Eddie and Lilly are trying to conceive, and James owes money to drug suppliers. Alexander Yount's rink from Butte is in the field too.

- The film began from a discussion Paul Gross had with producer Robert Lantos right after Due South was canceled: Lantos wanted a hockey film but found the sport too complicated and too political a subject in Canada, so Gross replaced hockey with curling.
