When a former Olympic athlete attempts to run the 156 mile Marathon des Sables in the Sahara desert, he is blown off course by an unprecedented sandstorm. 9 days later, against all odds, he’s still alive. Alone, he battles 115 degree days, freezing nights, no food and no water. When rescuers give up on him, a race of a lifetime becomes the greatest race of all… the race for his life. What can the human body endure? What can the mind overcome? What can drive a person to survive, when they have no means to live.
