Ghost

Castle Crenshaw, known as Ghost, possesses natural running talent born from a turbulent past where he and his mother had to flee for their lives. After impulsively challenging an elite middle school track team's sprinter, he is recruited by an unorthodox coach who sees his raw potential. Alongside his diverse teammates, Ghost must learn to confront his inner demons and control his temper. Staying on track both literally and figuratively becomes his greatest challenge as he prepares for the junior Olympics.
