Thelma (Maja Salvador), is a mischievous and tomboyish teenage girl, who loves to run in the fields of her hometown of Ilocos Norte, Philipines. But Thelma’s irresponsible behavior is a disappointment to her father, Aldo (John Arcilla) and her mother, Floring (Tetchie Agbayani).
One day, disaster strikes and her sister, Hannah (Eliza Pineda), is injured and faced with being crippled for life. Her only hope to walk again is an expensive operation. Determined, Thelma enters a road race and wins. This sets in motion her journey to use her gift of strength and speed, run for her sister, rise from desperate poverty, and redeem herself from the past.
