Plot[]

Drew Jacobs, a teenage track runner who lives with his mother Claire and older brother Wes, is overwhelmed and struggling with life. He is manipulated by a local drug dealer, Eli, into running drug payments, and fears that he is heading down the same fruitless life path his brother once took as Drew finds the fate of his primary outlet, track practice, up in the air. Drew, however, is soon noticed by his reclusive neighbor and ex-track coach, Jame Coleman, who offers to train him. As Drew trains, the two form a bond, until Coleman is killed in an altercation with his brother's old gang, forcing Drew to conquer his fears and push through himself.
