A young runner dreams of breaking free from a quiet coastal town, where turnout at local meets is thin and opportunities feel distant. With a stubborn coach and an aging track beneath the bleachers, she trains at dawn, balancing school, family pressures, and a stirring sense that a bigger race awaits beyond the shore. When a chance encounter reveals a hidden history tied to her own heritage, she must decide how far she’s willing to go to claim her pace—and her voice. A story about resilience, friendship, and the rhythm of second chances, it keeps the heart pacing steady to the final sprint.
