But when Miszka is accused of stealing scooters and a car, he loses his spot on the team: his future career and planned participation in the Winter Paralympics Olympics are jeopardized! He’s given one last chance to get back on the team, but will he manage to deal with his shortcomings and distance himself from the crowd that has brought him to this precarious situation? This personal struggle will be the biggest challenge he has ever faced.
