Kevin Pearce, professional snowboarder, severely injures himself after a training accident. From the website: "This eye-popping film seamlessly combines twenty years of stunning action footage with new specially-shot verité footage and interviews as it follows U.S. champion snowboarder Kevin Pearce and exposes the irresistible but potentially fatal appeal of extreme sports." The film deals with issues of traumatic brain injury and mental health.
