L'histoire véridique de quatre Jamaïcains qui ont un rêve fou : obtenir une médaille d' or dans une discipline olympique qui leur est totalement inconnue et impossible à pratiquer en Jamaïque : le bobsleigh. Avec leurs coach les quatres athlètes quittent les tropiques pour le froid polaire de Calgary. Ils vont se donner à fond pour se qualifier et participer aux épreuves.

Street vendor Marcia is scraping together a living in the ghetto section of Kingston, Jamaica. Her young daughter is being hounded by a rich sugar daddy who has been supporting the family; her brother's life is being threatened by a local thug. So, when the licentious patron threatens to abandon the family, and her brother breaks down under pressure, Marcia hits bottom. She needs to escape to a haven where she can get lost in fantasy; Marcia, don in sex-me-up clothing and outrageous glamour, finds refuge in the beats of the very dance hall outside of which she normally vends.
