A sports drama about three cyclists learning to balance personal ambition with team loyalty, driven by competitive energy and interpersonal conflict.

In the world of professional cycling, where teamwork demands individual sacrifice, the three leading sprinters of Team Radiant must confront their own egos and aspirations as the competition becomes increasingly tough. Arrogant cyclist Ming cares more about personal glory than the good of the team. His shy teammate Tian is unlucky in both love and sports. Finally, the third teammate, Korean Ji-won, is forced to confront the ethics of his manager.
