Od samého začátku to byl bláhový sen. Nikdo nečekal, že by posádka osmiveslice Washingtonské univerzity, složená ze synů dřevorubců, dělníků a farmářů, mohla porazit elitní týmy z Východního pobřeží a Velké Británie, a přesto to dokázali. Nakonec šokovali celý svět, když porazili i tým Německa, který vesloval pro Adolfa Hitlera na olympijských hrách v roce 1936 v Berlíně. Příběh se točí kolem Josepha Rantze, mladíka bez rodiny a budoucnosti, který se snaží najít díky sportu ztracenou sebeúctu. Autor čerpal ze vzpomínek pamětníků i deníků samotných sportovců a ve své knize vytvořil nejen kroniku životního příběhu jednoho výjimečného mladého muže, ale i nezapomenutelný obraz pohnuté doby.
