What motivates a professional cyclist to enter the dark, seedy world of systemic doping, and what measures will he take to cover this up?A young, American professional cyclist-Philip LaPont-is coerced into a team sponsored doping program while attempting to be chosen for a Tour de France cycling team. At first he dislikes cheating, but then he begins to like the winning brought by the performance-enhancing drugs. To deflect attention, he conspires with his mother to accuse his own father-a pompous and arrogant retired Philosophy professor-of a heinous crime. As lies are spun and lives unraveled, are the deeper wounds of loss and callousness in a family's history enough to drive a son beyond redemption?
