The FrontRunner

Bag om The FrontRunner

Russ Clayton is a young man who keeps losing the important people in his life. Each time someone disappears, he finds himself adrift. The Universe stacked against him. He only finds peace running alone on the roads of his small town in Kansas. Russ finally believes that everyone in his life is gone. Feeling abandoned, he gives himself up wholly to the running by setting an impossible goal. But, he needs help. Long ago, Brad Coy was the fastest marathoner on the planet, but a man who also lost everything he valued to a cheating Russian runner named Yuri Grimlov. Finding a kinship, Coy and Russ team up, retreat to the desert, on a quest to shatter the brain's protective hold on the body that prevents us from reaching our physical limits of speed and endurance. Meanwhile, Grimlov has been charged with restoring Russia's tarnished reputation for doping its distance runners. He takes two twin boys from their family and subjects them to his special mixture of psychological manipulation, doping, and scientific training. Inevitably, Coy and Grimlov face off again. Russ discovers whether he really ever was alone in the world and the Twins confront the limits of their love for each other.
