A straightforward coming-of-age racing drama centered on a rebellious teen reconciling with his estranged father through competitive motorsport.

Danny Krueger is a rebellious young street racer on a collision course with trouble. After an accident at an illegal race, he's sent to a small town to live with his estranged father, a washed up NASCAR racer. When Danny decides to enter the NHRA High School Drags, he's forced to seek his father's help in taking down the local hotshot.
