Rick Penning thought he had it all. He was in peak physical condition and the star of his rugby team fighting for the upcoming national title. But his spoiled attitude and a lifestyle laced with drugs and alcohol makes him reckless. Following a second DUI and an almost fatal car accident, Rick finds himself sentenced to a year behind bars in an out-of-state detention center, having disappointed his strict coach and father.

Forever Strong played at the 2008 Heartland Film Festival in the Truly Moving Picture Award Winners Sidebar.
