Ko White spozna, da imajo nekateri dijaki neverjetne tekaške sposobnosti, se začnejo stvari spreminjati. Pripravljati jih začne na veliko ameriško tekmovanje v krosu. Pot do uspeha je trnova, a pri tej dijakom pomagata njihova predanost drug drugemu ter neskončna odločenost in delovna etika.
A struggling coach and teacher who has had to move around for different incidents in his career finally comes to one of the poorest cities in America: McFarland, California. There he discovers buried potential in several high school boys and slowly turns them into championship runners and brings them closer than even he could ever imagine.
