A star high school cross-country runner finds himself the subject of a humiliating life in this satirical comedy and coming-of-age story. Entangled in a web of bureaucratic idiocy and in trouble with the law, he enters into a quirky and tumultuous relationship with his attorney, and later with a saucy pink-haired co-worker, only to discover his empty pursuits mask his real struggles and the angst of growing up.
Seemingly washed up from competition, he reignites his athletic pursuits with the support of his childhood best friend and love interest, as well as the haunts of an ancestor who had a similar gift for running. Through his great grandfather's story-one of unfinished business played out during Prohibition and the Great Depression-Billy is led back to race on the world's grandest stage-the Boston Marathon.
