Ku Stevens is 17-years-old and the solo runner at his high school with no coach. Living on the Yerington Paiute reservation in Northwest Nevada, he needs more to be seen by his dream school, the University of Oregon.
As Ku trains, unreconciled emotions unearth the memory of his great-grandfather, Frank Quinn. At 8 years old, Frank ran 50 miles across the desert to escape an Indian boarding school. Frank’s story becomes interwoven with Ku’s journey to run a collegiate qualifying time.
