Sunny is the happiest person on the elite middle school track team, the Defenders. But Sunny's mom died giving birth to him and it seems like his dad blames him since he ignores Sunny. The only thing Sunny can do right in his dad's eyes is to win first place ribbons in running the mile, just like his mother. Sunny hates running and loves to dance; when he discovers a track event that allows him to incorporate elements of dance that he loves, he learns to let go of everything that's eating him up inside and follow his passion.
