Sarah Gerhardt made surfing history when, in 1998, she became the first female wave rider to ever brave the Maverick's wave in Northern California. Maverick's is an enormous wave known to strike fear in the hearts of even the most hardened surfers - not only for its intimidating size but also for the fact that it breaks into the shivering, shark-infested waters off Half Moon Bay. Before Gerhardt took on Maverick's she was living in poverty and despair, yet despite the fact that she achieved a certain level of inner-peace in accomplishing her dream, her feat went largely unnoticed in the male-dominated world of surfing. In this documentary, viewers are invited to follow along with Gerhardt as she sets out on the most rewarding adventure of her life.
