An inspiring and uplifting story about a male prison guard who creates an unconventional track program for some of the toughest and most violent female offenders at the Texas Correctional Youth Authority. There, Cleveland 'Stack' Stackhouse is a firsthand witness to the cycle of destructive choices and racial tensions among female teen offenders. In an attempt to teach these young women the importance of teamwork, discipline and self-esteem, he gathers African-American, Latina, and white teens, and organizes a multi-racial track team behind the bars of the prison. Participation in Stack's track team not only breaks down the racial divides between the girls, but puts them on a path to turn their lives around. (official distributor synopsis)
