To be the best one has to beat the best; and when Ben Johnson starts racing in the early 1980s, all the best sprinters are juicing; so Ben did what he had to do and evened the playing field; don't hate the player, hate the game.

Charlie Francis uses his failures as a sprinter for Team Canada to motivate a movement; he seeks out black athletes to take Canada to the top; with Charlie's knowhow and Ben's black-thleticism, they changed track forever.

With the science changing month to month, Charlie and Ben bring in Jamie Astaphan to focus on performance enhancement; Jamie takes the team to new heights, but isn't satisfied with how little credit he's getting.

Ben has spent ten years building up to this ten seconds; Ben hits rock bottom when he has to watch Carl Lewis walk away with a prize.

Traveling back to Ben's childhood in Jamaica to see the origins of his drive; his love for his mother, Gloria Johnson, is at the centre of all his decisions.

Canada is hurt after Ben test's positive for steroids; Ben is punished for embarrassing them in front of the world; a whole new race takes place to see who hurts Ben the hardest.
