Set in Melbourne in 1996, the story unfolds during the dawn of Australia’s swimming renaissance. Sixteen-year-old Danny Kelly receives a scholarship to an elite boys’ school, edging him nearer to his dream of clinching Olympic gold.

At first, Danny finds it challenging to fit into the elite social environment of the private school. Yet, with the guidance of esteemed coach Frank Torma and a complex friendship and rivalry with fellow swimmer Martin Taylor, Danny is poised to emerge as Australia’s youngest swimming sensation, earning the nickname ‘Barracuda’.
