While competing at the 1999 World Supercross motocross event, Aaron Baker injured his neck and was left with total paralysis. Over the following 16 years, Aaron ignored experts who declared 'he had a million-to-one odds of ever feeding himself again' and instead worked tirelessly to restore as much mobility as he could. When he was in the depths of depression, he accompanied his mother and friends on a cross-country road trip by tandem bicycle. Finally, he opened a socially conscious low-cost gym focused on boosting mobility for the crippled. The final excursion Aaron takes in Coming to My Senses is to cross a 20-mile stretch of Death Valley on foot, symbolizing his recovery. Will he succeed?
