Jeff Bauman (Jake Gyllenhaal) is standing at the finish line of the 2013 Boston Marathon to cheer on his ex-girlfriend Erin (Tatiana Maslany) and hopefully win her back, unaware that his life will change forever in the next moment. A bomb explodes near the 27-year-old, severing both of his legs. Bauman is immediately taken to the hospital along with many other severely injured victims. After regaining consciousness, he is able to identify one of the attackers and provide investigators with crucial information to capture the terrorists. However, Jeff's own struggle is just beginning. He embarks on a long and arduous rehabilitation process, which he can only endure through the unwavering support of Erin and his quirky family. His way of coping with this devastating fate turns him into an unwilling hero.
