Synopsis: In 1996 a small Korean town is undergoing a large-scale construction in preparation for Winter Olympics bid. In the middle of the construction, the local committee receives a report that they do not have sufficient athletes to compete so they decide on forming a ski jump team in order to represent the event. Former American Junior alpine athlete Bob is an adoptee who came to Korea in search of his mother, and along with four other non-experienced athletes he forms the first Korean ski jump team. There’s no turning back for these men and it is a challenge they committed to seeing through to the end.
