Ghost. Lu. Patina. Sunny. Four kids from wildly different backgrounds that are chosen for an elite middle school track team—a team that could qualify them for the Junior Olympics if they can get their acts together. Ghost has a crazy natural talent, but no formal training. Ghost has been running for the wrong reasons—it all starting with running away from his father, who, when Ghost was a very little boy, chased him and his mother through their apartment, then down the street, with a loaded gun, aiming to kill. Since then, Ghost has been the one causing problems—and running away from them—until he meets Coach, an ex-Olympic Medalist who blew his own shot at success by using drugs, and who is determined to keep other kids from blowing their shots at life.
