A talented young track runner finds his longtime plans to escape his tyrannical stepfather and rescue his girlfriend from a dead-end existence thrown into jeopardy by his incontrollable temper, the result of overexposure to gasoline fumes. As a young boy, Emilio promised Sandy that they would one day run away together, and start a new life somewhere else. When Emilio discovers that he can run like the wind, he sees his gift as his ticket out; if he can just land a scholarship, then he can quit working at his stepfather's gas station and keep his promise to Sandy. Unfortunately for both Emilio and Sandy, the temperamental track star's unpredictable violent streak may be the one fatal flaw in his otherwise foolproof plan. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Not to be disparaging in any way, but this movie lacked direction. The characters lacked depth. The movie had a number of vignettes that were put together in without really building on one another. I had so many questions. Also, being a track and field enthusiast, there is no way the main character could have run as fast as he did as a high schooler. This movie was down there with Across the Tracks.

    Movie was OK as far as low budget goes. The acting was kind of bad, even from the veteran actors. Was suprise to see my hometown in the movie. Only thing I kept saying was, doesn't anybody notice this boy's nose keeps bleeding and does someone have tissue to give him.
