Josh Logan is a teenager with dreams of becoming a harness driver. Those dreams have been soured with the accidental death of a horse at the last stables where he worked. A chance encounter with Carol West, a tough enigmatic stable owner, introduces him to a very special horse, Star Runner. But with Star Runner comes mystery, intrigue and danger.

Josh's love for Star Runner draws him into the dark secret of the horse's origin.
