SYNOPSIS

Eight years after being diagnosed with incurable cancer, Luke Grenfell-Shaw is not only still alive, but he’s one of the fittest people in the world; an ultra trail runner covering distances of +100km in a single race. However, when Luke’s first season as pro takes a rocky start, he finds himself drawing on his unique inner-strength built up through cancer treatment to face his nemesis: CCC - one of the most prestiguous and challenging mountain races in the world.
