In this fascinating tale of alienation and self-discovery, Colby Fowler's drunken mother scratches blood tracts into his face just because he tries to feed her. Two boys on his bike team make
him feel like a freak. They bully him on trining rides and talk through him like he doesn't exist. And to make matters worse, tradgedy claims the life of his coach. During the coach's memorial
competition, Fowler refuses to let rabid bike racers sully the honor of the only person who ever made him feel wanted and alive. He awakens to the sanity of patience and his own self-worth.
