In September 2011, Turia Pitt, a beautiful 25-year-old mining engineer. Working her dream job in the far north of Western Australia, entered an ultra-marathon race that would change her life forever.

While the story of Turia's survival involves many people, other race competitors, her rescuers, medical professionals - at its core is the strong will of Turia herself as she continues the long rehabilitation process with the loving support of her partner, Michael Hoskin, and that of their families in their New South Wales south coast hometown of Ulladulla, where the local community has rallied, raising funds to help with huge medical bills.
