Sunny, the main character of this novel, possesses an infectious sunny disposition. Always wearing a goofy smile and offering kind words, Sunny is truly the chillest dude on the Defenders team. However, behind his cheerful facade lies a troubled past. Considered a murderer by his own thoughts, Sunny blames himself for his mother's death while giving birth to him. Neglected by his father, who insists on being called Darryl instead of Dad, Sunny feels responsible for his mother's demise. The only thing that seems to earn him his father's approval is winning first-place ribbons in races, just like his mother did. But Sunny's true passion doesn't lie in running, and he makes a daring decision that changes everything.

Struggling with a deteriorating relationship with his father and not wanting to leave his newfound friends behind, Sunny faces a difficult choice. Coach presents him with an opportunity to pursue his true passion: dance. Yet, being on a track team means running, not dancing. Just when it seems like all hopes are lost, Sunny discovers a unique track event that combines hip-hop hits, ballet precision, and the showmanship of dance - the discus throw. As Sunny practices this exhilarating sport and learns to let go at precisely the right moment, he also lets go of the burdens that have consumed him for so long. Will he find redemption and reclaim his self-worth in the process?
