Ethan, 17, becomes an apprentice steeplechase jockey, the most violent type of horse racing. Working with thoroughbreds, he discovers the world of racing, betting and money. His passion grows, so does his frustration. Racing to win, but always at the service of others. He is soon faced with a choice: break the rules or save his skin.
