David Chappellet is a mean-spirited skier who profits from another skier''s injury to gain a spot on the American Olympic team. His roommate sums up his goals when he observes of David "He''s not for the team and he never will be"; but precisely who the David is that David is so fiendishly striving for we''re never to learn. He develops a short-lived relationship with Carole Stahl a glamorous European woman even more capricious than himself. Chappellet''s identity trouble are exacerbated by the fact that he is an "Event" as well as a personality; and more astute minds than his own have difficulty where the one leaves off and the other takes over. Director Michael Richie''s ("The Candidate") feature film debut.
