Sprinter tells the story of Akeem Sharp set to be Jamaica's next field and track sensation. Akeem hopes a rise in the track and field world will take him to the U.S. so he may reunite with his mother who has supported their family while living as an illegal resident for over a decade. But Akeem's rising star is weighed down by turmoil at home: a volatile father alongside an unruly older brother who integrates himself into Akeem's career as a means of escaping- or perhaps enhancing- his scam artist hustle. Not only does Akeem have to prove to himself that he can succeed, but he also must overcome the struggles that could ultimately bring him down.
