A new Coach takes over the girls cross country program at a private Christian school and sets a goal for them to win the state meet. As they begin to train for this, the top five runners each deal separately with a particular issue in life related to teens. As each of these stories unfold, so does the wisdom of the young Coach as she guides the girls along the pathway of life.

Determined to run for his high school's cross-country team, the sixteen-year-old runner, Alex Taylor, seems to indulge himself with an out-of-reach aspiration, as young Alex has been blind since the age of two. Under those circumstances, Geoff Taylor, a probation officer for teens and Alex's father, strikes up a deal with an unlikely running partner: the troubled youth, Brad Coleman, an exceptional runner who, unfortunately, squanders his talent running away from the law. Now, as the two boys have to work together in unison to overcome not only the prejudices of the coach, the track team members, and of course, bullying, a genuine but fragile bond begins to form. Will Alex and Brad make their dream come true?

1500 Steps is a transforming journey towards self belief and brilliance. A cross between Chariots of Fire and The Karate Kid, this high school drama is set in the beautiful, Sydney, beach suburb of Cronulla.
