Martin "Bird" Johnson is a 17 year old white trash kid who runs. He runs to keep from being beaten up. With his Mother in prison, his Father gone, and his Grandfather beating him, there's nothing to do but run. One day the manipulative High School Track Coach sees him outrunning his entire track team, (they want to beat him up), and figures Martin is his ticket to a college coaching job.

First off, as a runner this movie offended me. He (director) obviously did zero research before starting this travesty-attempt at a film. The characters were laughably terrible, and i wanted the main character to be beaten. brutally. Had he spent one tenth the time on character development that he spent using the phrase 'bud' or showing motivation montages, i might have had some reason to care what the outcome was. I walked out at about halfway, and want my life back. I'm pretty sure the budget went toward the beer bottles and hooker. This money would have been better spent on either the Honda he considered buying, or given to a charity.
