Mick Morton was a natural runner - and winner. He was a world champion at 18. Olympic medals and new world records seemed within his grasp. Then a freak injury stopped him in his tracks.
For four years and through five operations Mick Morton fought to keep his dream alive, and to return to world-class athletics. The film chronicles his painful progression from consulting room to practice track and finally to the starting line of his comeback race.
'If I can do well tonight it'll be some reward for the misery of the past four years'.
