A taut psychological thriller about a man driven by compulsion and addiction, using his athletic prowess to fuel a criminal double life that spirals toward inevitable collapse.

A champion marathoner leads a double life as a serial bank robber, sprinting between fixes (and away from police cavalcades) as many as three times a day.
