This teen drama follows high-school senior David Wakefield (Scott Jacoby), a talented runner who is set on leading his track-and-field team to victory. As David continues to hone his running skills, he carries on a romance with his pretty sweetheart, Alice Baker (Deborah Benson), and struggles with other issues that come with the transition to adulthood.
