Plot Synopsis by DramaWiki Staff ©

On a day before the new year’s long-distance relay race, the final roster of the members who have made Hiyori Foods’ track and field team are announced. Awashima Yuichi (Yoshizawa Hisashi) has been dropped and his track and field coach Katase (Suzuki Kosuke) also delivers the notice that his exclusion from the team means he is fired. He cannot bring himself to tell his wife Nami (Mimura Rie) who is pregnant as well as his son Hayato (Asakawa Daiji) who is taking the junior high school entrance exams. Meanwhile Awashima receives an offer from a runner who needs an escort. This runner is Uchida Kenji (Ichihara Hayato). Uchida used to be a soccer star but lost his sight in a freak accident four years ago. He aspires to make a comeback as a blind runner with the goal of participating in the Tokyo Paralympics. If Awashima agrees to run alongside Uchida, he can remain at Hiyori Foods. Awashima accepts. However, Awashima and Uchida get off on the worst start. They constantly clash over the training and the pace at which they run does not match even when Uchida is tethered to Awashima. However, a relationship of trust gradually grows between two of them before they even realise it. With the support of Uchida’s staff Takakura Maki (Kitano Kii), the two men keep on training. Then they participate in the qualifying trials for the Paralympics. Otaki Junya (Takahashi Mitsuomi), Awashima’s rival in marathon relays since university days, stands in their way as an escort. There is just one ticket to the Paralympics. What lies in wait for Awashima and Uchida as they push themselves in the race of their lives? (Source: Jdrama Weblog) Edit Translation
