Patrick a fifteen year-old boy, doesn't know what he wants to do with his life. With pressure piling up from his father, an ex-professional baseball player, Patrick searches for his own identity, Houston Jones, a misunderstood horse trainer whose sad and lonely past has given him an undesirable yet undeserved reputation, opens the door to the world of steeplechase racing to Patrick.

Although Houston's reputation concerns his family, Patrick convinces his mum and dad to give him a chance to train with Houston - not only to ride steeplechase, but to compete in the famous Derby Cup.

Along with the difficulties and challenges of training, Patrick and Houston must overcome the malicious intentions of Randy Adams, the rich town bully and five time Derby Cup champion. Randy will stop at nothing to keep his title, and coveted cup, or the heart of Jill the beautiful new girl in town. Despite Randy's best efforts, Patrick and Jill form a special friendship.

Together they help Houston overcome his shortcomings and heal wounds that have haunted him for years. Through this journey Patrick and Jill innocently fall into the first romance of their lives.

Just when Patrick's friends and family begin to embrace Houston, bringing laughter and joy back into his world and theirs, something unthinkable happens...

Can Patrick prevail against all odds to become the champion that lies within? Will he find the faith to follow his dream? Where will he get his strength?

The answer lies in the heart of a boy and the soul of a champion.
