After the death of his abusive father, eleven‑year‑old Ricky faces a new world where insecurity and anger run deep. He discovers that the discipline of running not only helps him cope with his own anger but also offers a shield for his younger brother against a bullying classmate and the lingering shadows of their past. Through the shared rhythm of the track, the brothers forge a bond that turns pain into power, turning the track from a place of fear into a place of hope.
