The story

A gaunt, bushy-bearded, 44-year-old Wes Holman returns to his Marin County roots after a 20-year absence, determined to enter one of America's oldest distance races. Holman was banned from competition after being a whistle-blower about illegal under-the-table payments to amateur athletes two decades before. He seeks out his old trainer, Elmo, to help get him ready for his comeback, but is denied official entry.
