"Overcomer" tells the story of a high school basketball coach, John Harrison, whose dreams are crushed when his town's largest manufacturing plant closes down, and hundreds of families leave.

He reluctantly agrees to coach cross-country—a sport he doesn't even like—and with only one runner.

His outlook soon changes when he meets the unlikely runner, Hannah Scott who pushes herself to the limit.

Also, John perseveres with the help of a new Christian friend who has strong faith despite his weak health. Inspired by the words and prayers from his friend, John starts to train Hannah for the biggest race of her young life.
