Winston MacDonald is in trouble. He has been suspended from school and he’s run away from home. After the police pick him up he is sent to spend time with his father, a newspaper columnist who hasn’t been around much since his family split up a year ago.

Winston travels to Nova Scotia with his father to cover a human interest story about a young man trying to run across Canada. Winston spends some time with Terry Fox and his best friend, Doug. Their determination to achieve what seems like an impossible goal makes a big impression on Winston.
