In 1952, after suffering defeat at the Helsinki Olympics, three world-class runners each set out to break this barrier: Roger Bannister was a young English medical student who epitomized the ideal of the amateur; John Landy the privileged son of a genteel Australian family; and Wes Santee the swaggering American, a Kansas farm boy and natural athlete.

Every day pushes Bensin to his limits as he struggles to survive in an environment designed to break him. The brutal system strips men of their identity, but Bensin refuses to be just another pawn in its deadly game. Defiance, however, comes at a high price.
