Overview
When a man returns home to Bedford-Stuyvescent, NYC, he finds the young girls there dealing with growing problems of alcoholism, drug use, and teenage pregnancy. He decides to counteract the negative forces operating in the girls' lives by starting a track team for them which provides valuable discipline, gives them pride and confidence, and becomes a second family for many. The film follows the team through a city-wide competition held on Randall's island.
