This film tells the stories of a group of young people who refuse to compromise in the pursuit of their art. Great French snowboarder Xavier De Le Rue attempts to establish the best downhill route on one of the world’s most dangerous mountains; three British surfers Tom Lowe, Fergal Smith and Mickey Smith are chasing the perfect wave off the beaches of Tahiti; and English punk group Gallows set off on a tour of major cities in the United States. Snowboarding, surfing and music are the three different art forms that these young people use to leave their mark on the world and to push themselves beyond their limits.
