Samenvatting:

When rising cycling star Harry Chatham dies on the eve of Tour de France victory, the truth is buried for decades. Years later, his son uncovers secrets, loyalties and lies that force him to choose between exposing the past or protecting the living.

In July 1977, Harry Chatham is on the brink of becoming the first British winner of the Tour de France when a crash on a twisting mountain descent ends his life and consigns him to a footnote in sporting history.

Decades later, Harry’s son, Jim – unaware of his true parentage until after his mother’s death – sets out to uncover who his father really was. As he digs into Harry’s past, long-hidden family secrets surface, fierce loyalties are revealed, and he is drawn into the darker side of 1970s professional cycling, where he uncovers a shocking truth that has been concealed for nearly forty years. The evidence points to a revelation that could restore Harry’s reputation, but at what cost?
