But when he's challenged to recreate a high school swim team record, he sees an opportunity to finally connect.
Thrown back together with his three relay colleagues from ten years ago, Ben is forced to confront his failings. And as the four grow closer while training for the race, he starts to realize that his drowning in loneliness might be entirely self-imposed.
Will Ben open up his heart and swim his way to happiness?
