故事描述了澳大利亚游泳运动员Danny Kelly的人生故事。1996年，年仅16岁的Danny发誓要参加奥运会比赛，于是在教练Frank Torma（Matt Nable）的严格指导下开始了艰苦的训练。Danny的人际交往能力很差，于是他将所有精力都投入体育运动，游泳就是他「避世」的最佳方式。在泳池中，他赢得了「梭鱼」的称号。但是他面临队友的强力挑战，他们完全不尊重他，甚至不把他当成团队中的一名成员。来自家庭、朋友、队友和教练的压力让Danny一度难以承受，但他知道自己必须赢，而且必须一直赢下去。为了证明自己，他决心挑战泳池中最大的对手、自己的队友Martin Taylor。
Ambitious young swimmer Danny Kelly wakes before dawn to workout before his first day at the exclusive Blackstone College where he has won a scholarship.
After Danny’s success in Albury, he trains hard with the swim squad. And he’s finally earned their respect. However coach Torma unsettles Danny by insisting he change his stroke to butterfly. He believes Danny will never win gold with freestyle.
Fresh from his world record-breaking swim, Danny’s dreams come true when he is accepted into the Australian squad for the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur. He celebrates with Taylor but their developing relationship takes a turn when Taylor introduces Danny to someone new.
It’s the opening night of the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games and the nation is buzzing with excitement. It’s been two years since Danny’s public loss and humiliation at the Commonwealth Games and he is still consumed with overwhelming disappointment and anger. He finishes his day at his dead-end job and returns home to the Kelly house where the family feels more fractured than ever.
