Synopsis

Moving beyond the confines of a mere race, the documentary delves into the essence of life's fragility, the strengthening bonds within a family, and the universal thread of human connection.
The narrative traces Jimmie's path from his home in Alabama to Gloucester, United Kingdom, where he competes in the World Championships, buoyed by the unwavering support of his wife and daughters who form his dedicated crew.

Interwoven with moments both humorous and heartfelt, the film provides an intimate look into the meticulous training and preparation that precede Jimmie's remarkable attempt. It also sheds light on Jimmie's impactful and legendary standing within the ultramarathon community.
As an unexpected medical condition jeopardizes Jimmie's ability to complete the challenge in the UK, and the goal appears to slip definitively out of reach, a profound realization unfolds. The pursuit of his most extraordinary achievement may not be confined to a distant competition but could lead him back home.
