Upon joining the rowing team, Alex quickly realizes the intense physical demands and the cutthroat nature of the competitive collegiate rowing world. Despite her lack of experience, she pours all of her energy into training, pushing herself to the limit each day. Alex develops a single-minded focus on securing a spot in the top varsity boat, disregarding the toll it takes on her relationships, academics, and personal life.
In pursuit of her goal, Alex becomes increasingly isolated from her teammates and loved ones. She alienates her friends, neglects her studies, and distances herself from her supportive roommate who tries to remind her of the importance of balance and self-care. Alex's obsession becomes all-consuming, blurring the line between passion and self-destruction.
As the competitive season progresses, Alex faces numerous setbacks. She battles physical injuries, mental exhaustion, and even encounters discrimination as a queer athlete. Despite these challenges, she refuses to give up on her dream. She pushes her body beyond its limits and employs various strategies to gain an edge over other teammates, even resorting to unethical means.
During the climactic scenes, Alex's relentless pursuit finally pays off as she secures a spot in the top varsity boat. However, her victory comes at an immense cost. Alex realizes that her obsession has eroded her sense of self, strained relationships beyond repair, and left her feeling empty and disconnected.
As the movie concludes, Alex must confront the consequences of her relentless pursuit. She questions whether sacrificing her physical and mental well-being was truly worth the pursuit of a single goal and begins to rebuild her life and find new meaning beyond rowing.
