In the early 1990s, a young and charismatic bicycle racer triggers the attention of the Quebec bicycle racing fans. She performs so brilliantly that she is soon encouraged to aim for the World Junior Road Race. Her father finds her a personal trainer and the ex-athlete and the young girl immediately connect. Both are extremely ambitious and share a rare capacity to suffer under most severe and painful training methods. Their collaboration is intense and fruitful. A year later, suffering from extreme fatigue and anemia, the young champion is placed in front of the ultimate dilemma: to stop racing for many months or take EPO. She chooses to take the illegal substance. Follows a ten-year carreer marked by adulation and glory, then by doubts and suspicions and in the end, forever tarnished by lies and deception.
